Text Formats
WellCAD is capable of reading and writing various text based clipboard formats
including TXT, CSV, WA* (see 1.4.2.2 TXT, CSV and ASCII Import). As for the
text format the clipboard format is the same as the equivalent ASCII file format.
This format is used to copy a selection of single or multiple logs.
OLE Object Format
1.3.2.11 Interactively Inserting Data
1.3.2.12 Erasing all data from a log
WellCAD supports the exchange of data using the OLE Data Object format. This
format allows linking and embedding OLE objects into OLE enabled applications,
to produce compound documents. WellCAD can export its documents as OLE
objects (i.e. WellCAD is an OLE server) and import other applications OLE
objects (i.e. WellCAD is an OLE container. This format is used to copy WellCAD
Borehole documents in their entirety or single OLE Logs containing OLE objects. ).
For more details about these features, refer to 1.7.4 Embedding Borehole
Documents.
Most log types allow interactive insertion of data points. That means you can use
your mouse in combination with your keyboard to “draw” data points directly into
the data view of the borehole document. You can also enter data into a spreadsheet
using the tabular editor. In any case the log you are going to edit must be selected.
If and how data can be inserted depends on the log type. Details for each log type
can be found in Appendix A. As a general rule of thumb you should remember the
following:
- Data can be edited only if a log is selected.
- To insert data press the SHIFT key and use your mouse.
- To delete data use your mouse while the CTRL key is pressed.
You can easily delete all data from a log:
� Right click on the title of the log from which you want to erase all data. You can
also select multiple logs and right click on one of the selected log titles to erase
data from multiple logs.
� From the context menu select Clear Contents.
This will remove all data from the log(s) without deleting the log(s) itself.
