1.4.1 Depth Axis
BOOK 1 - WELLCAD BASICS - 71
Each borehole document contains a depth reference axis. Though the depth axis has
some properties with a log in common (e.g. moving, sizing, display of the settings
dialog box) it is no log because the depth axis contains no data and it cannot be
deleted.
Depth axis is display
reference
Same data set displayed with two different depth scales
Please not the while using the vertical scroll bar a little tool-tip will display the depth
corresponding to the mid of the scroll bar handle. The length of the scroll bar
handle represents the portion of the well currently displayed on screen.
Purpose of the depth axis is to provide a reference for all displayed log data. Thus to
alter the scale of the borehole document data display (e.g. 1:50, 1:100,…) or the
displayed depth unit, the Depth Settings dialog must be opened. To do so:
� Double click the depth axis handle or press the keys CTRL + A.
Or
� Right click the depth axis handle and select Settings > Main Settings from the
popup menu.
Or
� Click the icon or select Depth Settings > Main Settings from the View
menu.
