� Press the CTRL key and drag the log from one borehole window to the
other. Releasing the mouse button completes the move.
Similarly multiple logs can be dragged and dropped if multiple logs are selected.
Note that the SHIFT and CTRL keys have a different meaning while performing a
log selection or a drag-drop operation:
� While performing a log selection, i.e. Click on a log Handle:
Simple click selects the log, eventually deselecting all previously selected
logs.
CTRL + Click toggles the log selection, leaving the rest of the selection
unchanged.
SHIFT + Click leaves the selection unchanged.
� While performing a drop operation, i.e. releasing the mouse button over a
possible drop area:
Simple Drop or SHIFT + Drop moves the selected logs to the drop area.
CTRL + Drop copies the selected logs to the drop area.
The Clipboard
The clipboard is a Microsoft Windows built in feature that applications use to
exchange data. It can be perceived as a shared buffer. WellCAD is capable of
copying four different families of Borehole Document information to the clipboard.
WellCAD Borehole Logs Native Binary Format
Although this format completely describes the data and the way it is presented in
WellCAD, it can only be read and written by WellCAD itself. It is the preferred
format used to copy and paste data within WellCAD, e.g. from one borehole
document to another, or within the same document. This format is used to copy a
selection of single or multiple logs.
Graphical Formats
WellCAD can copy a bitmap or a metafile to the clipboard. It is graphical copy of
the Borehole Document as is appears on the screen. This allows you to paste an
image to a graphical application such as Paintbrush, Word, Microsoft Publisher,
Corel Draw etc. This format is used to copy documents in their entirety, i.e.
containing all logs.
