Printing and Previewing Project Files
To preview the printed pages before you send the file to print, select
Print Preview
from the
File
menu or
click on the print preview icon on the tool bar. To close the print preview window and return to the file,
click on the Close button in the print preview window. To print the file from the print preview window, click
on the Print button.
To edit printing properties such as the printer or paper size and orientation, select
Print Setup
from the
File
menu or click on the print setup icon on the tool bar.
There are three ways to print the job data: select
from the
File
menu, click on the print icon on the
toolbar, or click on the Print button in the print preview window. After selecting a print option, the Print
dialog box will appear. Make any adjustments needed in the Print dialog box, then click on OK. If you
have the Adobe Acrobat PDF writer software, you can select the Adobe PDF printer to print to a PDF file
(see your Adobe software documentation).
The job data will print on at least three pages. The job information, including location, client, and
contractor information, if entered, will appear on the first page, along with the statistical data about the job
and any job comments. The profile and plan view charts will appear on the second page. The third page
(and more if needed) will list the drill data. Data for data points that have been removed will not display.
The topography survey data and drill data, if entered, will display.
Saving Project Files
To save an open project file, select
Save
from the
File
menu or click on the save icon on the toolbar. If
the file has already been named and saved, it will automatically be saved under its current file name and
location. If the project has not yet been saved and named, then the Save As dialog box will open where
you can enter the file name and select the save location. The default file name is Steering#.st5
, where “#”
represents a number that starts at 1 and advances automatically as files are saved.
To save an open file with a different file name or location, select
Save As
from the
File
menu. The Save
As dialog box will appear, which automatically opens to the folder where the current file is saved. Change
the file name and location as desired, then click the Save button. The open file will now have the new file
name and/or location.
DCI recommends saving each job file with two different names in the event that one file becomes
corrupted.
