In the Export Stage Plans window, select the Export As Grid check box, then click Advanced. The Grid Settings window displays.
Below is the example of Grid Settings:
XPAC will calculate the origin point from the current display in the Mine Status Plot. To change the Cell Size in X-axis and Y-axis, when typing a number in the cell size field, XPAC will calculate the Count number based on the maximum point in X-axis and maximum point in Y-axis. For example:
After changing the Cell Size number, click Default. XPAC will calculate the new origin point and count number appropriate for the new cell size number. See the example below:
If desired, the exported grid can be rotated by selecting Rotation number. This field will change the orientation of the X and Y axes. See the example below:
In some cases changing the Rotation number will allow XPAC to include as many points as possible in processing. To assure your rotation number is optimal for the current plot display, click Best Rotated Fit. See the example below:
In CSV Grid export formats, you can select Export Blank Values to include points outside the display in Mine Status Plot. Otherwise, XPAC only processes a stage play inside the plot display.
Click OK to confirm Grid Settings.
