4. GETTING STARTED

This training tutorial includes a mix of theory and practical exercises, on the underground drill and blast module in
Deswik.CAD.

Before you open the drill and blast module, you will design a title block and a winze long section.

A title block is for print layouts, to define information about the drawings, including:
l drawing title

17
l drawing number
location

20
l

l site

ep
l vendor

-S
Deswik.CAD has title blocks designed to fit standard paper sizes. The title blocks are in the
C:\ProgramData\Deswik\Titleblocks folder.

es
or
4.1. TITLE BLOCK TEMPLATE ol
This tutorial includes an A3 sized Deswik.CAD file as a template to design the title block.

Please complete the following exercise:

er

Navigate to the data sets folder and select the 4.07 Deswik.UGDB_Plot A3 Landscape file.

Block text allows text displayed within the title block to be set from Plane Definitions. This simplifies the
process of updating the text in the Title Block. After you write the block file, you can only make permanent
changes to the block text in the source file. In other words, you cannot modify a block after you insert it
into a document. You must open the source file, modify the block drawing and re-save.

12 | Page
7. Repeat the process to create the following text.

Interactive Text Height Block Text Tag Corresponding Block Value

Configuration: 6 Configuration <<PlaneDefAttribute[][Configuration]>>

Total Drill Meter: 4 Drill meter <<PlaneDefAttribute[][Drill]>>

Total Charge Meter: 4 Charge meter <<PlaneDefAttribute[][Charge]>>

Ring Dump: 4 Dump angle <<PlaneDefAttribute[][Dump]>>

7.2. DESIGN LINE SETUP

The design line for this exercise is the centerline of the working drive. It is not necessary to have the design line
inside of the development drive solid.

35 | Page
 It is important to remember that the design line elevation is where the survey planes are cut. Draw the design
line at the same RL as the dump pivot point, on the drill rig for the stope. For example, draw the design line at
the floor of the drill drive, and then translate the line to the height of the drill rig pivot point.

The following appendices detail related options and functions in the Deswik.UGDB module.

The following sections include information, or optional exercises only.

20.1. APPENDIX A-1. SHARED FILES

17
Deswik.CAD enables users to use shared files, macros and workflows. When working on a network, users can
access templates, block files, title blocks, and drill rigs to incorporate into the design.

20
You cannot change the files on the shared network via the network drive. You must copy the file to your
computer to alter the file, then save it back to the network.

ep
-S
The file path for external files can be saved in Deswik.CAD, via the Tools | Options | External Files tab. You can
provide a file path to the shared directory within the OPTIONS dialog box.
