The command requires the v5.31 update to Trimble Business Center to satisfy the complete changes required for this workflow. v5.31 of TBC incorporates the following additional changes
- The Drill Hole Quality Report can now be executed with or without imported hole quality as built data, meaning that you can now report Design Hole data only.
- The Create Drill Plan command has been updated to allow for a skew angle between the Drill Plan rows and columns.
Command Description
Provides the ability to rename / renumber drill holes in a drill plan, allowing for irregular shaped boundaries, the addition of extra drill holes and the movement of drill holes to allow for fault patterns through the drilling area. All holes are renamed uniquely and regularly along rows and columns of the drill plan. Drill hole names / numbers can be defined using a user defined name pattern.
Command Interface Description
The Rename Drill Holes command dialog looks as follows
Drill Plan
Select the Drill Plan that you wish to renumber. Note the Drill Plan type needs to be the Grid Type of Plan for this renaming command to work. Note that the origin and orientation of the drill plan is always honored in the renaming scheme, the renaming will start from the same origin points. If the project does not have any Grid Plan types, then the selection dialog will be empty.
The renaming process uses the half spacing of the rows and columns to determine which row an added hole belongs to. The added holes are added to the row and column based on their closest proximity within a half row or half column spacing.
Name Mask:
Define the hole naming system that you wish to use e.g. {R}:{C} for Row:Column or {R}-{C} for Row-Column
Start Column Number:
Enter the number for the first column of the plan
Reverse Columns Checkbox:
If you wish to reverse the numbering system, check this check box i.e. you can start at 8 and reverse the numbering so it numbers the columns 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 etc:
Start Row Number:
