(052) Improvement (06/29/18/MIW): The RockPlot2D Profile to RockPlot3D program has increased the resolution of the exported bitmaps.
(051) Bug Fix (06/29/18/MIW): Radio buttons in the Tree Menu weren't saving their status if they hadn't been clicked and had never been set.
(050) New Feature (06/29/18/MIW): Users can now export all striplots to a single PDF file.
(049) New Feature (06/27/18/MIW): A new program has been added to the RockWorks Utilities Solid | Export menu: Solid -> Groundwater Vistas Matrix File. This program enables you to use a RockWorks block model (.RwMod file) to define cell matrix properties in a Groundwater Vistas MODFLOW model. (See also the Case Study: Using RockWorks to Define Layer Elevations, Zones and Matrix Values in Groundwater Vistas.)
(048) New Feature (06/27/18/MIW): A new program has been added to the RockWorks Utilities Solid | Export menu: Solid -> Groundwater Vistas Zone File. This program enables you to use a RockWorks Lithology model or other block model composed of a limited number of “g” values defining material type (.RwMod file) to define cell property zones in a Groundwater Vistas MODFLOW model.
(047) New Feature (06/27/18/MIW): A new program has been added to the RockWorks Utilities Grid menu: Grids -> Groundwater Vistas Matrix. This program enables you to use RockWorks grid surfaces (.RwGrd files) to define layer elevations in Groundwater Vistas.
(046) Bug Fix (06/27/18/MIW): Bar graph colors in 2D striplogs whicih are based on a custom color table will match the colors in the section or profile panels which use that same table.
(045) Bug Fix (06/26/18/JCJ): Fixed a problem creating a new project based on an existing project and copying only enabled boreholes.
(044) Bug Fix (06/25/18/JCJ): When exporting Datasheets to Excel, Datasheet text records that start with the letter "E" followed by a number (e.g. E1) are no longer interpreted as being expressed in scientific notation.
(043) Bug Fix (06/25/18/MIW): Solid | Filters | RockPlot2D Polygon Clip no longer creates an error if the RP2D map does not contain any polygons.
(042) Enhancement (6/22/18/MIW): The RockPlot2D Scalebar can now be displayed with an alternating bar style.
Note: It takes a bit of
finagling to get the displayed values to match the scale. First enter
the endpoints manually (e.g. 482,100 to 482,200) and then set the
value labels (e.g. 0 to 100) to match the range. You can then move
the scalebar to the appropriate position with the mouse. (000)
(041) New Feature (06/22/18/JCJ): Added ability when creating a new project from an existing project, to copy of any/all of their other project files: RwDat, Rw2D,RwGrd, RwMod, Rw3d, RwRpt, Rcl (or for RockWorks15 ATD, GRD, MOD, RK6, R3DXML, RW6, RCL - converted)
(040) Bug Fix (06/21/18/MIW): Fixed text placement in the 2D Log Designer window.
(039) Enhancement (06/21/18/MIW): The Polygon Clipping using RockPlot2D polygons now ignores polylines (e.g. contours) and polygons that are hidden.
(038) Bug Fix (06/21/18/MIW): The Section, Profile, Fence and Projected Section selection map no longer display at a reduced size.
(037) Bug Fix (06/21/18/MIW): The defaults for the Superface and Subface replacement values is now the RW NULL.
(036) Bug Fix (06/19/18/JCJ): With the changes for the Data Dictionary, the program was reporting a Read Only error. This was due to FieldType being updated but marked as Read Only before the change log was merged.
(035) Improvement (06/19/18/JCJ): Comments for the Location can now be imported (Text/Excel) when the comments are greater than 8k. This was an issue when using SQL Server as the database engine.
(034) Enhancement (06/18/18/MIW): To compliment the sub-project feature the section, profile, fence and projected section pickers now display all the enabled boreholes in a project. The Truncate option has been exposed in the section selection dialog so that it can be disabled fro selecting boreholes outside of the project.
(033) Bug Fix (06/14/18/MIW): Fixed a text size issue with Windows 10 and builds starting with 17134 when set for large fonts (>100%) that caused some menu items to not be visible.
(032) Bug Fix (06/13/18/MIW): The issue with Windows Large fonts setting has been fixed.
(031) Bug Fix (06/12/18): Excel writer was not dimensioning the array sufficiently for the added PJParams value in the Units tab.
(030) Enhancement (06/11/18): The Symbol color for the vector symbol for each borehole was not being exported (Text and Excel) and therefore not being re-imported.
(029) Enhancement (06/07/18): If the Documents or AppData folders were empty strings or did not exist we would prompt for them. The method now being used, will display the Browse for Folder dialog during the program initialization phase, where before it would not.
(028) New Feature (05/24/18): The RockPlot2D Export to RockPlot3D now exports Profiles as vertical panels.
(027) New Feature (05/23/18): Dogleg Severity and GridX (horizontal distance from KB x) and GridY (vertical distance from KB y) have been added to the Borehole Survey Report.
(026) New Feature (05/18/18): EZMap 3D creates a 3D Delaunay Triangle Network and displays color contours based on a G Value for display in RockPlot3D.
(025) Enhancement (05/15/18): The Transfer between the Borehole Manager and the Utilities datasheet will use feet/meters for projection units (SPC, UTM, Local) instead of 0 and 1
(024) Bug Fix (05/11/18): Borehole Manager Adjust Total Depths will now work when the data for Stratigraphy has only Tops. The query was returning a NULL value for the maximum Stratigraphy Bottom Depth for a borehole. Since the values were NULLS the field defaulted to a string field and could not convert that to a floating point value.
(023) Bug Fix (05/11/18): When working with Stratigraphy Types Table, RockWorks will check both the Stratigraphy and Production tables for any deletes or reassignments of type values. Before it was only checking the Stratigraphy table and if there were values in the Production table it would fail.
(022) Bug Fix (05/11/18): The single point coordinate converter was not always correctly determining if the user was looking for values to be in feet or meters for the output.
(021) Enhancement (05/11/18): RockWorks Data Dictionary version was updated to version 33. This adds 3 fields to work with Custom coordinate projections.
(020) Enhancement (05/11/18): The single point coordinate converter calculates only the output projections selected.
(019) Bug Fix (05/11/18): RockPlot 2D once again allows coordinate conversions to Longitude/Latitude in Decimal Degrees.
(018) Enhancement (05/11/18): The Borehole Manager Other Coordinate Projections was re-worked to use a common frame for the projection information. This includes a paste button for pasting in Easting/Northing (Lon/Lat) values from the Windows clipboard when the two values are separated by a tab character. The format is common when selecting two side-by-side values from the Utilities datasheet or an Excel Worksheet.
A special case works for collecting two values from Google Earth. Ctrl+Shift+C will get the Latitude and Longitude for a point in Google Earth, however RockWorks is looking for the reverse order; Longitude and Latitude. When pasting in a Google Earth point hold down the Ctrl key when clicking on the paste button for Longitude and Latitude and the values will be reversed and pasted into the correct fields.
There is also a small button that will select different input/output formats for Longitude and Latitude.
(017) Enhancement (05/09/18): Users can now select a specific aquifer to plot in 2D striplogs.
(016) Bug Fix (05/09/18): I-Data Striplog colors didn't match the model colors for the same value when using a color table.
(015) New Feature (05/07/18): Deviated and Inclined boreholes can now be plotted in TVD (True Vertical Depth) in 2D Logs, Sections and Projected Sections.
(014) New Feature (05/03/18): Vertical Images to Polylines and Vertical Image To Polyline programs have been added to the Utilities / Imagery menu. It takes a raster image and splits it to the segments of a polyline (RwDat).
(013) Bug Fix (04/30/18/JCJ): The Graphix | 2D Utilities | Add/Edit Projection is working again, & no longer uses the Tree Menu.
(012) Bug Fix (04/30/18/JCJ): The Local help now shows the Home page help.
(011) Bug Fix (04/27/18/MIW): The Solid / Export / Groundwater Vistas Matrix program now calculated the Harmonic Mean correctly thereby no longer producing results outside of the value range.
(010) Bug Fix (04/25/18/MIW): Fixed an issue with tears and artifacts in RockPlot3D Iso-surfaces where the model was filtered by a flat surface grid.
(009) Bug Fix (04/25/18/MIW): Fixed an issue with the RockPlot3D Logo object where the program would loop continuously if the image file was missing.
(008) Bug Fix (04/11/18/MIW): The Polygon filter used in Solid Modeling now works correctly.
(007) Bug Fix (04/11/18/MIW): The Volumetrics /2D Grid Model program now reads the Overburden data from the datasheet.
(006) Bug Fix (04/04/18/JCJ): The bulk coordinate converter for the Utilities now updates the Custom settings in the Metadata.
(005) Cosmetic (04/04/18/JCJ): The dialog for the bulk coordinate convertor dialog within the Borehole Manager "to Easting/Northing" option caption now reads "Only where the Easting and Northing is not set".
(004) Improvement (04/04/18/JCJ): When wrapping UTM coordinates in the southern hemisphere, "+south" is added and the Zone is changed to a positive value.
(003) Cosmetic (04/04/18/MIW): The Borehole Manager borehole listing font size has been fixed to accommodate the most recent Windows update..
(002) Bug Fix (04/01/18/JCJ): The LogPlot import wizard now updates the Wizard header at the top of the dialog.
(001) Improvement (04/01/18/JCJ): The Borehole Manager - Edit | Coordinate Converter (from/to Easting/Northing) now allows specifying the units (feet/meters) for other coordinates.
