WinFence
is based upon the project concept for
data storage, where the user has numerous
projects and within each project there are
numerous cross-sections. Using this method, a
Microsoft Access 2000 database is used to store
each project. Each project is stored in a
separate directory, which can be on the same
computer or spread across a network. A master
database is used to keep track of projects and
their locations. This master project database is
also used to store data (such as symbol
libraries and strata) that is common to all
projects and applications.
In
version 2, projects are displayed using a
geographical information system (GIS). The GIS
displays a project location map that can be used
to display and edit boreholes and
cross-sections. In addition, site features and
AutoCAD files can also be displayed. The project
location map can also be printed to be included
with the cross-sections and fence diagrams.
The
creation and editing of projects is supported by
the following features:
-
Geographic Information System for viewing
project and selecting boreholes.
