Auxiliary information, adding or editing a file

Important  You can display auxiliary information only in the 3D View, the 2D View and the Well View.

Right-click on an object in the JewelExplorer or in the active view and select Auxiliary information > Add > File from the context menu.

Depending on the selected object to which you are adding the file, the options on this form can vary.

  1. After selecting to add a file, the file explorer window opens. Select the file you want and click Open.
  2. If you have already attached a file and you use the context menu to edit, the first step is skipped and you can continue with step 3 below.
  3. File  Click the ellipsis button to open the file explorer dialog. Select the file you want to add to the object. Click Open.
  4. To preview the file you are adding, click the Open file button .
  5. Title  By default, the name of the file is used as a title for the auxiliary data. If you want, you can change the title.
  6. Depth scale  Select which depth scale to use. Select from MD, TVDSS or TVD.
  7. Depth  Enter the depth at which you want to add the file. When you are displaying your auxiliary data, it will be visible at this depth.
  8. Click OK to save your settings, link the file and close the form.

  9. To show or hide auxiliary information for an object in a 3D View or 2D view, either use the checkbox of the data in the JewelExplorer (all auxiliary data is stored in an Auxiliary Data folder under the object it belongs to), or use the Auxiliary Data > Show option in the context menu of the object. To show or hide auxiliary information for a wellbore in the Well View, use the context menu in the auxiliary information track.

When you import files, they are treated in the solution as links. The locations of these links can be anywhere on local or shared drives, but to help with project maintenance and archiving it is recommended that you use the dedicated 'AuxiliaryData' subfolder that resides in the solution location. Inside the 'AuxiliaryData' folder there is a subfolder for each solution, using the naming convention <solution name>_<solution Unique ID>.  Inside this folder you will find all imported documents. Since auxiliary information files are added only as links, it will not be possible to access it on another PC where the corresponding solution will be loaded, if these files are not shared as well. If this is the case, you will be prompted with a dialog where you select to either browse to the file location manually to relink, or remove the link.
