WellCAD Basics - Advanced Logic Technology

OLE Log
Description:
APPENDIX A - 337
OLE is the acronym for Object Linking and Embedding. OLE is an application
integration technology that can be used to share information between OLE
compatible applications. In WellCAD, embedded and linked OLE objects (such as
photographs, EXCEL charts, WORD documents) are handled by the OLE Log.
The data consists of individual OLE objects each with a top and bottom depth.
Since WellCAD version 4.2 the display of pictures (e.g. JPG, GIF, BMP etc.) is
handled internally unless the user explicitly wants the pictures to be handled as OLE
objects. This can be defined in the logs default settings. Handling pictures internally
skips the dependency on external software to display the pictures and provides a
resource friendly alternative to the RGB Log when handling large volumes of
pictures. When importing a picture use File > Import simply select the OLE Log
when prompted.
Data can also be inserted manually or loaded from ASCII files. E.g. to import a
series of core photographs (picture file list) simply import an ASCII file providing
top and bottom depth and the path to the picture file as OLE Log (see also 1.4.2.5
Picture import).
