Once entered, a log can be easily copied and modified. This function can be used to quickly copy and then edit logs that are very similar; such as a set of boring/wells drilled on the same site. There are two ways to copy a log depending on whether it is open or not.

 

 

1. The log to be copied is opened and displayed

 

To copy a log press the Copy or SaveAs buttons on the toolbar. The Enter Boring/Well ID form will then be displayed. This form lists the current boring/wells in the project. Enter a unique ID for the new log, select whether you would like to specify the location of the new log on the project map, and then press the Ok button.

 

(The appearance of the form will differ slightly depending on if it is WinLoG or WinLoG RT)

 

If you selected to specify the location on the project map, after the Ok button is pressed the project map will be displayed. Click on the location of the new log on the map and the location will be stored with the new log.

 

 

2. The log is not open and the project map is displayed

 

In this case, select Edit > Copy Boring/Well Log from the menu.  You can then click on the location of the new log on the project map. After the location has been specified a list of current logs in the project will be specified. Select the log to be copied from the list, then enter the borehole information for the new log.
