Feb 2009 Dr. B. C. Paul Note the following presentation includes screen shots an operating suggestions for the program MineSight developed by Mintec Inc. The program was developed by Mintec.
Start Up MineSight and Set the Directory Where You Want to Work
You will be using This directory For all your Mapping the Rest of the Semester.
Put Your New Geometry Object into Edit Mode (so you can put your data points
in it)
You Have the Handy Dandy Excel Spreadsheet that has converted your survey data to point coordinates
We Will Need to Set Up A Work Area (we need to identify the state plane coordinate
area we will be working with)
Activate MineSight Compass
It Tells Us It Could Not Find the Boundary Files Saying Where to Work
Dah thats what We are doing this For at least we Know the program Is on the same Page as us. Click Ok
You May Have to Tell it to Put the File in the Directory You Are Working In
We Are Done We Will Close Compass and Get On With Data Entry
Go to Point Create
The Point Editor Turns On and the Operations Line Shows What We Are Doing
Enter the Coordinates of the First Corner using Data from the Spreadsheet
After I Enter My First Set of A Team Points I Click Right to Finish the Operation
I will then click The weird looking Save box to Save my work.
Now Im Going to Close That Set of Building Corner Points and Put in Some Others
I left click the Golden box to take Building Corners Out of edit mode
I Will Close My Building Corner Points Because I Want to Put in My Traverse Stations
I Digitize and Right Click My Mouse to Complete the First Part of My Line
Note after right Clicking once my First pline turns Red indicating it Is complete Also note that I Am still in polyline Create mode so I can start on Another polyline (useful in this case Because the B Team took a short Dead end trip) (A second right Click would end The pline function)
Pick the polyline tab Ill check off to Put arrow heads On the plines I will choose my Arrow head style
Hold down the Left mouse key And center button Or scroll and Move up or down To zoom out or in
In This Case Zooming in Took What I Was Interested In Out of the Picture
What happens if You hold down the Left and right keys
The picture rotates (this is usually not Good for us Because we want A plane with north Up)
To Restore Things
Click the north And east plane View icon Check to make Sure the azimuth Is 0 for azimuth To top of page And the dip is -90 (meaning you Are looking Straight down From above)
{No Im not trying to Make you think you Are God}
Trace It On Out
Ill do a couple Right clicks and A save to finish this
We know this side Of the Engineering Building runs in The same over-all North East to South West Direction
