Entering information into header and trailer
BOOK 1 - WELLCAD BASICS - 105
Depending on their design, header/trailer can contain dynamic text fields that allow
you to enter text information directly. Legends and bitmaps must already be entered
at the design stage of the header in HeadCAD. If set up properly legends will adapt
their contents according to the log they refer to.
Fraction of the default ALT borehole document header
With the borehole document being in Presentation Mode click into the header/trailer
dynamic text field. The text field becomes active and a insert prompt appears. You
can type in your text now.
As some of the dynamic text fields appear in different orientation or the font size is
very small – the header/trailer is displayed in true print scale – it might be more
convenient to enter your text information in a separate editor – the WellCAD
Header Editor.
Static Table Objects
Dynamic text fields are not the only objects that can be edited. There are also Static
Table Objects (spreadsheets) that can be filled with text within the header editor.
Static Table Objects get their data imported from files or copied and pasted from
another application (e.g. EXCEL) or a Borehole Document. The Static Table Object
itself (in other words the empty data container) must be placed when the header is
designed. A header can be created in HeadCAD.
