[Katy D]

A new version of RockWorks was uploaded to the RockWare website, with bug fixes, improvements, and new features. 

 

The RockWorks Revision History includes complete lists, by date, of all changes in the program.
 

New Features:

• Added the ability to copy “enabled” boreholes into another project understanding that the database structure would have to match for all the data to transfer. A warning message is displayed when an optional field in the target 'Location' table is missing.
• ESRI Shape Exports of Stratigraphic Fence diagrams now include the formation name as an attribute. This included reworking the appearance of the fence panels in the scene. 
• Scales for RockPlot2D file in ReportWorks can now be specified with an engineering scale.

Improvements:

• The Save settings in Peripherals now include user settings for each saved item as well as the layout for the pieces.
• Look for a new Add Margin button on the toolbar on the left side of 2D diagrams that adds a 5% margin to the edges around your    diagram. This option was also added to the Utilities menu in RockPlot2D.
• Rewrote the Aquifer export. It now resembles the Stratigraphy export.
• ModOps | Grid | Export | RockWorks Datasheet - unused columns for Color, Thickness, Line Style were removed from the export.
• On editing a Playlist item as text: the text editor File | Exit and the Exit button behave the same. The File | Save behaves like a Save As and will now set the file extension to RWPlaylist with an option for txt. The File | Save As will still prompt to write back to the current Playlist (if modified). 
• RockPlot2D Property dialogs are now displayed relative to the position of the mouse.
• Added the ability to copy “enabled” boreholes into another project understanding that the database structure would have to match for all the data to transfer. A warning message is displayed when an optional field in the target 'Location' table is missing.

Bug Fixes:

• Grid silhouettes that are added to multiple parallel profiles will be plotted on the their individual profiles instead of projecting all of the grids onto the first diagram.
• Vertically exaggerated multi-profile diagrams are now displayed correctly. Previous versions would be plotted at a vertical exaggeration of 1.0 thereby requiring that the user manually specify the vertical exaggeration after the diagram was displayed. In the example shown below, the diagram containing four profiles is now initially plotted at the specified vertical exaggeration of 50X.
• The "Override Automatic Titles" option within the Parallel Profile menus (used by a variety of programs) now accepts user settings.
• The Load Layout option in the 2D Log Designer will now update the settings displayed in the dialog when you load a previously saved layout. 
• The title height for RockPlot2D Color Legends is now adjusted when the Vertical Exaggeration is set from the main options to greater than one.
• The ESRI Stratigraphic Fence programs use the updated fence locations from the user specified table when the location tab is opened.

We recommend that Network license users install the RockWare Network License Administrator v. 1.18. Contact support at rockware.com for a link to the latest version.
