Bore log metric and imperial units?
Permalink  
 


Is it possible for a bore log to display both metric (m) and imperial (ft) depth scales? I've tried adding a second depth scale on the template without success.

Thanks.

Sorry, can't be done.  The axis plots using the same depth units as the database depth values.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I came up with a relatively easy work around. I created a data type called Metres in the Constituents table and in the Point Values table I used a simple equation to enter the appropriate depth in feet that the metric scale text '– 5, '– 10, '– 15, etc. should plot (depth has to be adjusted for the heigh of the text so the centre of the text is in the correct locatio rather than the top of the text). Then I added a vertical line just to the right of the ft depth scale so the dashes touch the new line to make it look like one scale with both units.

Cheers.

That's a good work around. Feel free to post the final product to the EnviroInsite LinkedIn Group or to the EnviroInsite Facebook page. I'd like to see it.
