DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

Deswik.Suite
 If you have previously installed a beta version, you should uninstall it before installing the released version. If you have
side-by-side installs of different versions, you will need to upgrade each version to the latest patch.

 We recommend Deswik.SO users avoid using Deswik.Launcher appx installations for the Beta period.

Deswik.Suite retirement schedule

Deswik's standard Service Level Agreement specifies that versions are supported for 12 months from the original
release date. The following table lists the upcoming scheduled retirement dates for versions of Deswik.Suite:

Version Release date Retirement date

2022.1 February 2022 Retired
2022.2 July 2022 Q3 2023

Windows 8.1: From 10 January 2023, Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 8.1. From this date, Deswik will no
longer support Deswik.Suite running on Windows 8.1.

Windows 11: Deswik now support Deswik.Suite running on Windows 11.

Introducing the GMDLS file format

What does GMDLS stand for?

In 2019.4, we introduced the new *.gmdlb extension, which stands for geomodel-block. Since then, many of our users
have begun using this format for the many advantages it has to offer over the Datamine block model format. We
mentioned at that time that our goal was to introduce the *.gmdls extension, which stands for geomodel-solids. And
now it's finally here in 2023.1! This file format is used to describe irregular geometries as per the legacy Deswik
geomodel file format (*.dgm).

6
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

It's easy to switch from DGM

Instructions:

1. Click Geology | Block Model Utilities | Geomodel | Convert | From DGM.

2. When prompted, browse for the Deswik geomodel (*.dgm) file that you want to convert. You may select multiple
files.

3. Deswik.CAD generates a *.gmdls file for each selected file and saves it to the same directory as the input file.

We are in the process of fully replacing the *.dgm file format with the *.gmdls format. All legacy *.dgm commands are
now retired in 2023.1 and most have been replaced with a comparable command in the Geology | Solid Model
Utilities | Solid Geomodel menu. In addition, many of the GMDLB specific commands that you are familiar with are
now available for the new GMDLS format as well.

l Geology | Solid Model Utilities | Commands: Alter solid geomodel tables (files with a *.gmdls extension) using
a set of user-defined rules. Previously, only Formulae was available as a sequential command for *.dgm files.
Now the following sequential commands are supported:

o Compare Solid Models: Compare one solid geomodel to another by checking if the solid dimensions and
field values match in each model.

o Convert Solid Model: Create a solid geomodel file from an existing geological model file from other
software packages.

7
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

o Extract Entities: Generate solids, slices or hulls from a solid geomodel. Optionally apply a filter or use
limiting entities to isolate specific blocks to use in this process. Assign block fields as attributes to output
solids, slices or hulls. Replaces the legacy Geology | Block Model Utilities | Geomodel | Legacy | Extract
Surfaces and Entities command.

o Extract Surfaces: Generate a roof or floor surface from a solid geomodel. Optionally apply a filter or use
limiting entities to isolate specific blocks to use in this process. Replaces the legacy Geology | Block Model
Utilities | Geomodel | Legacy | Extract Surfaces and Entities command.

o Fields Alter: Rename fields, change the default field values, or change field types in an existing solid
geomodel. Replaces the legacy Geology | Block Model Utilities | Geomodel | Legacy | Modify Fields
command.

o Fields Copy: Copy selected records and fields from one solid geomodel to another.

o Fields Delete: Delete selected fields from a solid geomodel.

o Fields Sort: Sort the records in a solid geomodel based on selected fields. Each field specified can be sorted
in ascending or descending order.

o Formulae: Alter field values in a solid geomodel table using formula-based rules.

o Solid Model Filter: Limit a solid geomodel either spatially or by applying a standard filter.

l Geology | Solid Model Utilities | Compare: Compare one solid geomodel to another to ensure that the content
of each cell matches the equivalent entry (by xyz location). New in 2023.1.

l Geology | Solid Model Utilities | Convert | From DGM: Convert a Deswik geomodel file (files with a *.dgm
extension) to a solid geomodel file (*.gmdls). New in 2023.1.

Block model commands also support the GMDLS file format

Most existing block model commands have been tweaked to support GMDLS files.

GMDLS also supports a 'super set' of data types

And finally, the GMDLS file format supports this same 'super set' of our competitor block model data types as GMDLB.

Size
Type Range or definition Comments (if any)
(Bytes)
Boolean True or False 1 Default is False
Byte 0 to 255 1
Date Time n/a 8 Values that contain both date and time parts. The
data type is Long under the hood.
Double ±5.0 × 10−324 to ±1.7 × 10308 8 Approximate range only; actual range is
dependent on hardware.
Float ±1.5 × 10–45 to ±3.4 × 1038 4 Approximate range only; actual range is
dependent on hardware.

 This data type has limited decimal place

precision when compared to Double. The actual
number of decimal places that will be precisely
honored cannot be easily expressed, because it
also relates to the magnitude of the whole (not
decimal) part. When very precise calculations are
required, you should use Double as opposed to
Float.

DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

Key highlights

Drag-and-drop to slice block models automatically

Previously when you tried to view a slice of your model, almost 30 mouse clicks were needed to load it in the CAD
Model Space, apply a legend and zoom to its extents. If you were working in a blank document, the default working
plane settings often did not intersect with your model, so you wouldn’t see a slice at first. You had to turn on Show
Model Extents, zoom to the extents of the model boundary, and then run Plane by 2 Points to slice through your
model. Once you visually had a slice, you would run Plane by 1 Point to put it back in plan view.

In 2023.1, we have combined this entire process into a single action. All you need to do is drag your file into the Model
Space and Deswik.CAD will do the rest! It will populate the BLOCK MODEL DISPLAY dialog with settings for the slice
(whether dynamic or static), generate and apply a legend, set the working plane through the approximate middle of
the model such that at least one cell is visible, and then zoom to the extents of the slice. It’s that simple! One click and
you’re done.

It’s just as easy if you have entities in your document. Deswik.CAD will zoom to the extents of both the visible entities
and the block model slice automatically. And if it must update the current working plane, it will warn you first. Refer to
Geology | Block Models | Display Settings in the Help file for all the different scenarios.

What's new for point clouds

Combine point clouds imported from RIEGL scans into a single object. Customize the color of the point cloud using the
new color modifier. Export point clouds as LAZ or LAZ LiDAR files.

Introducing the new GMDLB file format

See Introducing the GMDLS file format in this version's Release Notes for more details.

New commands and features

l File tab:

o File | Export | Survey | Point Cloud: Export a point cloud as an *.las or *.laz file.

l General tab:

o General | Interface | Options | Mini Toolbars: Four new 'Mini Toolbars' are now available for use in the
Model Space. Three of these toolbars (right, bottom, and left) are populated with common commands based
on legacy toolbars (snapping, views, navigating, zooming, visual styles and more). In the default view, only
the bottom Mini Toolbar is visible. However, you have the ability to turn each of these toolbars on or off as
needed, as well as to add or remove commands to create a more efficient workspace. You can also return
the Mini Toolbars to their default (remove all separators and any added commands) using the Reset Mini
Toolbars command.

12
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

 This feature has also been added to the previous version of Deswik.Suite.

l Geology tab:

o Deswik.TableViewer: Deswik.TableViewer is an application in Deswik.CAD that is used to open, preview,

and in some cases, edit the tables for geological models. We have made many enhancements to this
application in this version.

n Previously, you could only use Deswik.TableViewer to view Datamine (*.dm, *.dmu) and block
geomodels (*.gmdlb). Now multiple geological model types are supported, including:

l Solid geomodels (*.gmdls)

l Vulcan block models (*.bmf (v6.0))

l Vulcan block model archive files (*.archive_b)

l Surpac block models (.mdl, .fbm (Version 1 only))

l Micromine block models (*.dat), including the Micromine extended format block model that
supports rotation

l GEMS block models (*.bpr2)

13
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

l MineScape StratModel Solids Export files (*.csv)

l Deswik geomodels (*.dgm)

n Search capability: Use the new Search command to search all records in the model for a specified
value. Optionally use a regular expression to perform an advanced search that looks for patterns as
opposed to a specific string. To search for a non-null value, enter an asterisk *. To search for a null
value, leave the Find value field blank.

n Filtering: Use the new Filter command to apply a filter to the model to limit the records displayed.

n Export: Use the new Export command to export selected fields to a *.csv file format.

n Show Nulls: By default, null values are displayed as empty cells. Turn on Show Nulls to show the string
'<null>' in these cells instead.

n Previously, all information about the model was found in the table. Now, the table is divided into two
tabs. All details contained in the records in a model file are displayed on the Data tab. Prototype
information (origin, cell size, rotation, and so on), field data types and defaults, and model information
have all been moved to the Model Information tab.

n You can now drag a model onto the Data tab to populate Deswik.TableViewer with the model details.

o Solid Model Utilities: Multiple *.gmdls commands have been added under this new grouping on the
Geology tab. Most of them replace legacy commands that worked with the old Deswik geomodel (*.dgm) file
format.

n Geology | Solid Model Utilities | Commands: Alter solid geomodel tables (files with a *.gmdls
extension) using a set of user-defined rules. The following commands are supported:

l Compare Solid Models: Compare one solid geomodel to another by checking if the solid
dimensions and field values match in each model.

l Convert Solid Model: Create a solid geomodel file from an existing geological model file from
other software packages.

14
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

l Extract Entities: Generate solids, slices or hulls from a solid geomodel. Optionally apply a filter or
use limiting entities to isolate specific blocks to use in this process. Assign block fields as attributes
to output solids, slices or hulls.

l Extract Surfaces: Generate a roof or floor surface from a solid geomodel. Optionally apply a filter
or use limiting entities to isolate specific blocks to use in this process.

l Fields Alter: Rename fields, change the default field values, or change field types in an existing
solid geomodel.

l Fields Copy: Copy selected records and fields from one solid geomodel to another.

l Fields Delete: Delete selected fields from a solid geomodel.

l Fields Sort: Sort the records in a solid geomodel based on selected fields. Each field specified can
be sorted in ascending or descending order.

l Formulae: Alter field values in a solid geomodel table using formula-based rules.

l Solid Model Filter: Limit a solid geomodel either spatially or by applying a standard filter.

n Geology | Solid Model Utilities | Compare: Compare one solid geomodel to another to ensure that
the content of each cell matches the equivalent entry (by xyz location).

n Geology | Solid Model Utilities | Convert | From DGM: Convert a Deswik geomodel file (files with a
*.dgm extension) to a solid geomodel file.

n Geology | Solid Model Utilities | Convert | From Other: Create a solid geomodel file from an
existing geological model file from another software package.

n Geology | Solid Model Utilities | Convert | From CAD Solids: Create a solid geomodel file from
solids on an existing layer in the active Deswik.CAD file.

l Polylines tab:

o Polylines | Create | Around | Polylines | Concave Hull: Draw a 2D concave polyline around the
boundary of selected entities in a specified plane.

 Although similar to Convex Hull, this command will generate concavities, which result in polyline shapes that
are closer to the original (while still containing all points). If using the Convex Hull command, all angles
generated are convex.

l Process map commands:

o Interactive Filter: Apply a temporary, interactive filter to one or more layers to change the visibility of
entities based on their attribute values.

 This feature has also been added to all versions of Deswik.Suite from 2022.1 onward.

15
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

l Ribbon | Set Keyboard Shortcut: You can now right-click any command on the Deswik.CAD ribbon to assign it a
keyboard shortcut comprised of the Ctrl or Alt key and a single alphanumeric character.

 To assign shortcuts that do not include the Ctrl or Alt keys, you still need to use the General | Interface
| Shortcuts command.

Enhancements and modifications

l Quick Access Toolbar: You can now easily customize the QAT. Right-click any command on the ribbon, and then
click Add to Quick Access Toolbar to add the command to the QAT. Added buttons will be persistent between
sessions.

l File tab:

o File | Export | CAD and Other Formats: When exporting to the MicroStation *.dgn format, you can now
select the new Create legacy DGN level layers checkbox to generate an additional 63 empty seed file layers
in the output DGN file. These layers represent the default layer tree of legacy DGN files.

16
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

o File | Export | CSV/Text | WKT CSV: Two enhancements.

 These features have also been added to the previous version of Deswik.Suite.
n Export 3D: Select this checkbox to export the z value of each vertex for 3D objects.

17
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

multipart geometry checkbox to export points and polylines as 2D multipart geometries instead.

o File | Import | Scan Data | RIEGL Scan:

n Point cloud capability: Previously, this command did not import scan data as point cloud entities.
Now, when you set Import points as to A single 'Points' entity, scan data is imported as a point
cloud, making it much easier to work with larger datasets.

n Combine point clouds: When importing files containing more than one point scan, we have added the

18
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

ability to combine the scans into a single point cloud during the import process.

l General tab:

19
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

o General | Measure | Distance | Distance Between Surfaces or Solid: Previously, this command
provided an interactive way to measure the distance between two surfaces or between two points on a solid.
The distance would appear as a tooltip next to your cursor. In 2023.1, this command now displays a dialog,
giving you the ability to track multiple selected points, generate point entities at each digitized point, and
optionally assign the queried height as attribute to these point entities.

l Geology tab:

o Geology | Block Models | Settings: You can now display a slice of your geological model (and
autopopulate the BLOCK MODEL DISPLAY dialog for this command) by dragging and dropping your geological
model directly into the Model Space (similar to importing data). As part of this 'import' process, Deswik.CAD
will:

n populate this command with the model details.

n load the model and generate a dynamic slice.

n analyze the model fields and apply an autogenerated legend to the slice to color model cells to assist
with viewing.

n turn on the extents of the model boundary as a 3D box in the Model Space.

This method is particularly useful for models that either sit entirely above zero elevation or entirely
underground. It is also very helpful if you aren't familiar with the model or are having trouble slicing it.

l LAYER CONTROL window shortcut menu commands:

o We have renamed the Reload Data Source and Reload Data Source in Children commands to Update
Data Source and Update Data Source in Children.

20
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

l Layers tab:

o Layers | Data | Update All Data Sources: We have renamed the Reload All Data Sources command to
Update All Data Sources.

In addition, this command will reload any layers containing entities sourced from Deswik.MDM.

21
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

o Layers | Properties | Properties: This command now provides information on layers containing entities
sourced from Deswik.MDM. You also have the option of storing those entities in the file or reloading them
each time the file is opened (similar to the Reference only option for layers containing imported data).

l Open pit tab:

22
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

o Open Pit | Pit | Deswik.SPD | Automated Pit Design: New smoothing algorithm.

n Use outer hull algorithm: When contour slices from a polyface surface from an optimization package
are used as input, the surface is usually very 'blocky'. As a result, you must smooth the contours as part
of the process to generate a reasonable pit design shape. Previously, the available smoothing option
(Smooth input contours) was aggressive to make a pleasing shape. The smoothed shape was often
significantly smaller than the unsmoothed contours, losing a lot of potential ore in the pit. Now you can
also use a new 'outer hull algorithm' to generate a 'concave hull' around the unsmoothed contour. A
concave hull will yield a better representation of the data and provide a better starting point.

l Max length: Use this field to govern how much smoothing is done by this algorithm.

l Offset: After the hull is calculated, the smoothed polyline will always be on the outer side of the
contour slices. This may not be desirable, because it can include extra waste. Use this new offset
field to offset the hull polyline inwards by the specified distance.

o Open Pit | Road | Road Audit: Two enhancements.

n Use the new Curve Radius properties to evaluate curves and report curves with a radius less than a
specified minimum.

23
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

n Register input centerlines to sections: Select this new checkbox to add points at the intersection of
the centerline and the road cross sections, and then register the centerline (with the points inserted) to
the surface. The points are saved to the Topography layer. Use this option if you need to annotate the
gradient change between each section line.

l Polylines tab:

o Polylines | Draw | Polyline | Concave Around Points: Multiple enhancements.

 The features that follow have also been added to all versions of Deswik.Suite from 2022.1 onward.
n Grouping attributes: Select one or more existing attributes to use to group input entities. Deswik.CAD
will generate an outline around each group of entities with common attribute values.

24
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

n Minimum output polyline area: Specify the minimum area for output outlines. Any outlines with an
area less than this value will not be generated. Use the default value of 0 to generate all outlines.

n Input polyline point spacing: Enter a value greater than 0 to internally add points to any input
polylines at the specified spacing.

 Use this option to create a smoother, more accurate output outlines. Input polylines are not modified in
this process.

o Polylines | Modify | Project | Projection Rules or Polylines | Modify | Offset | Advanced Offset
Rules: When using the Geological model rule type to assign projection angles (or offset distances) to
polyline segment, you can now use the new Block Selection Method field to determine which block to pull
the angle (or distance) from.

 This feature has also been added to the previous version of Deswik.Suite.

25
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

l Process map commands:

o Prompt User: Multiple new Value Types have been added, giving you the ability to prompt a user for an
azimuth, a color selection, x, y, and z coordinates, or coordinates for a bounding box.

26
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

l Solids tab:

o Solids | Boolean | Bulk: You can now use one or more Grouping Attributes to group input solids on both
the First Layer and Rest Layer. Only attributes common to both layers will be available for selection. In
other words, only input solids that have common attribute values will be considered in the Operation.

 This feature has also been added to the previous version of Deswik.Suite.
o Solids | Features | Triangle Slope Markers: Use the new Sum areas to attributes checkbox to generate
attributes for the purpose of reporting slope area sums for each of the bins. Results are grouped into 2D
(plan view) and 3D (true) area types. If bins do not already include flat or vertical gradients, attributes will be
added to include them at the limits.

27
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

 This feature has also been added to the previous version of Deswik.Suite.

l Survey tab:

o Survey | Point Clouds | Modify: Use the new Color modifier to create custom color schemes to help you
edit and interpret point clouds.

28
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

l Underground tab:

29
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

o Underground | Design | Auto Designer: In order to productize the Auto Designer for different mining
methods, we have exposed the ability to include a formula, where previously constant numeric values were
entered. A numeric value must always be specified. The command will use this value if the formula field is
left blank, or if the formula returns a non-numeric value or a value that is outside of the allowed range.

1 Constant, numeric value (default)

2 Formula

All of these new formula fields support the use of global constants. When this command is run from a
process map, this means users have the ability to build custom forms designed to prompt for specific
parameters (which can then plugged into user-defined rule sets via global constants).

 These new settings are not backwards compatible. The default value that you enter for any of these
parameters will be used when run in older versions. Formulae will be ignored.

Show me

o Underground | Design | Auto Designer | Create By Connecting: Multiple enhancements.

30
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

n Filter: It is now possible to include a 'formula' in a filter string based on an attributes on the input
polylines. To do this, the attribute needs to be preceded by a tilde character (~), and the formula needs
to be enclosed in single quotes. In addition, the formula can only be included in the Filter field for the
non-search origin position. In the example that follows, the Search origin position is set to the Start
point, so we can use a formula in the filter for the End point. Our formula will first isolate any polylines
with a DW_AutoLayout value=FinalCrosscut. Then for each of those polylines, it will add 1 to the
'StopeLine' attribute value on the origin polyline, and test that value against the 'StopeLine' attribute
value on the end point polyline. In other words, the 'StopeLine' value on the polylines that we are
searching for must be greater than or equal to the 'StopeLine' value on the originating polyline (or they
will be ignored).

31
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

n Grouping: You can now select one or more attributes to use to group polylines. Only polylines with
common attribute values will be connected.

n Use distance before override: Previously, the command always checked the distance to the nearest
polyline after performing the override. Now you can select this new checkbox to use the distance to the
nearest polyline before overriding to determine if the connecting polyline is the shortest (or longest, as
specified by Keep shortest).

 Start by running the command on your input. If you see anomalies like the one shown on the left, try
selecting this checkbox and running the command again.

Use distance before override

l User Interface changes:

o Output window | Rotation tab: You can now digitize a polyline at a specified gradient at a specific
elevation (where previously, you could only do so relative to a specific change in elevation). As part of this
process, we have added a new dropdown control to switch between the various options (as opposed to the
previous setup which was comprised of three different controls (Distance, 2D distance, and rZ). Finally,
the 2D distance control has been replaced with a toggle that works together with the various digitization
options.

 This feature has also been added to the previous version of Deswik.Suite.

l View tab:

o View | Legends | Show: Previously, the floating legend window (created by several commands) would
simply display the colors in the legend. This window now supports 'soft' filtering capability similar to that
used by the interactive filter. Select a row in the legend to isolate the entities on that row (that is, the entities
that meet that criteria for that legend bin) and hide all other entities.

Bug fixes, reporting, and output changes

l CAD-56807 (Surface Image Mapping): When mapping a non-square image to a polyface, it could appear
squashed or stretched. Geo ref coordinates embedded in *.tif files were being ignored. These issues were fixed in
2022.2.1054, and 2023.1.734.

l CAD-56752 (View | View| Shaded | Crease Highlighting): When crease highlighting was turned on, figures
appeared overlayed (that is, drawn over) solid geometry that was spatially in front of this geometry. This was
fixed in 2023.1.756.

33
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

l CAD-55681, CAD-55730, CAD-55862 (General | Measure | Distance | Distance): In versions prior to the fix, if
Mini Toolbars are visible and you experience performance issues with respect to the tooltip displayed for this
command, the Mini Toolbars must be turned off. This issue has been resolved in 2023.504.

l CAD-54103 (Layer Tree Visibility): When using a process map that contains the Layer Tree Visibility command
on a node, layers in layouts would disappear when switching between the Model Space and the layout. This was
resolved in 2022.3.204.

l CAD-54087, CAD-54115, CAD-54168, CAD-54121, and CAD-53138 (File | Import | CAD | From Open Designs):
Imported figures were being deleted from the source files in 2023.1.12+. This was resolved as of 2023.1.183.

l CAD-53851 (Ribbon display and Quick Access Toolbar functionality): We have removed the ability to
autohide the ribbon, because this was also hiding the Quick Access Toolbar. The ability to minimize the ribbon is
still provided but is no longer accessed through the ribbon display options icon in the upper-right corner of
the UI. Instead, you need to right-click anywhere along the ribbon or the Quick Access Toolbar to display a
shortcut menu, and then click Minimize the Ribbon. These changes are applicable to 2022.2.609+ and
2023.1.187+.

l CAD-56362 (Opening CAD documents): Double-clicking a CAD document in File Explorer was resulting in an
error message. The only way to open files was to use File | Open | Browse. This issue was resolved in
2023.1.642.

l LIC-149, SUPPORT-93159, SUPPORT-92925, SUPPORT-92825, SUPPORT-92909, SUPPORT-92987, SUPPORT-

92926, SUPPORT-92931 (Starting Deswik.CAD): An automated exception was occurring occasionally when
attempting to launch Deswik.CAD. This issue has been resolved as of 2023.1.608. If you are working in an earlier
version, there are three possible workarounds:

o Uninstall, and then reinstall, Deswik.CAD.

o Delete the logs folder C:\ProgramData\Deswik\Logs, and then relaunch Deswik.CAD.

o Clear roaming licenses from the C:\ProgramData\Reprise folder, and then relaunch Deswik.CAD.

Known issues

l Beta testers of 2023.1 should avoid this release of 2023.1, as it contains changes that will cause an upgrade of the
Survey database (making it incompatible with the current 2022.2 patch), but also includes an known issue that
could cause problems when importing jobs. A fix for the error is already undergoing our QA procedures. The
next patches of both 2022.2 and 2023.1 will be fully compatible with each other, and have the known issue
resolved.

Deswik.Enviro

34
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

Enhancements and modifications

l Open Pit | Environment | Deswik.EnviroTools | Create Dump Surface: We have made multiple changes in
order to generate a more practical dump design that minimizes the amount of subsequent material movement
required to achieve the desired final geofluv (or other) landform at mine closure. Although most changes are
under the hood, interface and output changes include:

o Grade reference surface: Select this new check box to base the bottom bench on a selected grade
reference surface. All subsequent benches will be created at a set vertical offset (Lift height).

o Target cut and fill balance: If selected, Deswik.Enviro will attempt to create a cut fill volume balanced
design at or better than the specified target %.

o Previous output Crest and toe polylines were saved to output layers by lift. These have been renamed to
Design polylines and are now output to a single POLYLINES layer. Toe polylines will have a dashed line type.
Crest polylines will have a solid line type. Crest and toe polylines for each lift will all have distinct colors. All
crest and toe polylines will have two attributes assigned as follows:

n 'Design' attribute: Values will indicate whether the polylines is a toe or crest.

n 'Lift Name' attribute: Values will indicate the lift elevation of the polylines.

o The new Minimum area field gives you the ability to control the size of the features in the surface that
should be considered for inclusion.

 Use this field to reject small 'paddock dumping' zones from the design.
o If a boundary polygon is specified, a copy of this polyline is automatically saved to an output layer called
BOUNDARY as part of this process. This is done so you can manipulate and tessellate the copy of the
boundary polyline along with the toe and crest polylines (saved to the output POLYLINES layer), to fine tune
the final dump design if necessary.

DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

Bug fixes, reporting, and output changes

l SCHED-22037: Previously, when using an invalid operator (such as multiplication) with a mix of numeric and text
types, Deswik.Sched would produce a log message, an invalid result, or both. Now, the formula builder will
generate a parse error with the exact operator and operand combination. Validation has also been improved in
other instances were there were inconsistencies, for example, previously [A]-2 would have been considered valid,
but 2-[A] not. In the following example, if A*2 is entered as a formula, then the following parse error would be
generated:

l SCHED-16932: Previously, there were some issues displaying the correct data in Resource view, when using sorts
and filters thorough the LAYOUTS dialog. These issues have now been resolved.

67
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

o If Use standard filters, groups, and sorts is selected, then the following applies:

n Task sort: Read-only; will display a previously selected Task sort. The sort you select for the Task Grid
and Gantt Chart will apply to the Resources view in the Reporting Grid.

n Task filter: Read-only; will display a previously selected Task filter. The filter you select for the Task Grid
and Gantt Chart will apply to the Resources view in the Reporting Grid.

o If Use standard filters, groups, and sorts is cleared, then the following applies:

n Task sort: Select a sort from the configured Task sorts. This sort will apply to the Resources view in the
Reporting Grid.

n Task filter: Select a filter from the configured Task filters. This filter will apply to the Resources view in
the Reporting Grid.

l SCHED-22387: Previously, there were some instances where the resource leveler would access tasks via
dependencies that were on layers that were disabled. This led to incorrect scheduling results. Now, dependencies
on layers that are not being used are ignored.

l SCHED-22064: Previously, the calculation for Total assigned hours was not taking into account the distributions
of a task but was considering the whole task. This meant that the work from distributions where a resource was
not assigned, was included in the calculation. Now, the total assigned hours are calculated using distributions
correctly. This change will improve the reporting of Total assigned hours which is used in planned maintenance
activities.

68
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

l SCHED-21952: Previously, if there was more than one resource assigned to a task but only one physical resource
assigned, then the reported values for the physical resource were prorated based on the number of resources
assigned to the task. Now, the physical resource will contribute to the total reported values.

l SCHED-22205:Previously, if a task rate was referencing a production field, then the Use Varying Rates leveling
option had no effect on the rate. Now, the task rate is varied appropriately when the task rate is referencing a
production field.

l SCHED-21952: Previously, when the maximum number of resources assigned to a task was set to '1', it would
result in incorrect reporting calculations. This issue has now been resolved and it has been merged back to
Deswik.Suite 2022.1.

l SCHED-21883: Previously, there were issues with baseline tasks being reported incorrectly, when exporting a
Task report either from EXPORT REPORTS, using the Copy As Task Report command, or using Task and Report
View in CONFIGURE DASHOBOARDS. This issue has now been resolved.

69
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

l SCHED-22482: Previously, distributions in leveled baselines would sometimes calculate reports incorrectly, after
loading, when the task's physical resource assignment had different units to its resource assignment. Now,
reports of leveled distributions in baselines, correctly calculate values based on the parent task's resource
assignment details. This change has been merged back to Deswik.Suite 2022.2.

l SCHED-22695: Previously, when a baseline extended past the schedule end date, the reporting values for that
baseline would be cut off at the end date. Now, if a baseline extends past the schedule end date, its reporting
values will continue to be included and reported on. This change has been merged back to Deswik.Suite 2022.2.

l SCHED-22634: Previously, when you indented tasks manually, the WBS parent task would continue to contribute
to row total values in report calculations. This issue has been resolved and merged back to Deswik.Suite 2022.2.

 This issue did not occur when you used the Group to WBS command.

Known issues

l SCHED-22678: A License Acquisition Error occurs when trying to open a SOT project after running Deswik.Sched
from the Appx installer. The issue can be avoided by using the standard .exe installer.

l SCHED-22738: Timelines not showing when there are blank rows.

206
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

l Deswik.Mapping | Tools | Working Plane | Back/Floor With Walls: You can use the new Back/Floor With
Walls command to map long sections of walls and backs concurrently. You can digitize the insertion point, length
to be mapped, and the width of the back/floor area, with a real-time preview of the back/floor and walls in the
Model Space helping you visualize the mapping. After you have finished digitizing, you can adjust the settings and

optionally add a grid. The floor/back and walls are mapped in a flat section. You can then use the
command on the Edit Graphics pane to fold the wall down into position.

l Deswik.Mapping | Tools | Working Plane | Face by Survey Marker, Face by Two Points, and Face by Laser
Line: You can now set up grids in each face mapping job, and optionally have both major and minor grid lines on
the mapped face.

207
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

l Deswik.Mapping | Tools | Working Plane | Edit Face: You can use the new Edit Face command to edit the
layout of a face setup, including the profile selection, wall and back mapping, and grid size.

208
DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

l Deswik.Mapping | Tools | Working Plane | Face Marker By Laser Line: You can use the new Face Marker
By Laser Line command to create a face position from distance and laser offsets. Unlike mapping a face,
drawing a face marker does not create face profiles or alter the working plane or view. This tool is useful for back
mapping and understanding where the face position is with a high degree of accuracy. In the Model Space, you
can select the laser polyline, digitize the position where the laser is inserted into the wall, and then digitize the
approximate location on the laser polyline where you want to insert the face marker. You can use the fields on
the SET FACE POSITION dialog to set the face properties and fine-tune the position of the face marker.

l Deswik.Mapping | Tools | Working Plane | Reconcile Tunnel Profile: You can use the new Reconcile Tunnel
Profile command to reconcile a mapped face with as-built data and move all geology that was mapped in the
original position to the new face position. Because a face is often mapped before the latest survey data for the
area is available, the mapping is not always entirely accurate. The face/tunnel profile may need to be updated, or
reconciled, when the survey data becomes available, for example, the profile position may need to be moved and
the related mapping data updated.

DESWIK.SUITE 2023.1 - RELEASE NOTES

Issue Key Customer Ticket Description

CAD-56419 Datamine Commands | Fields Copy or Fields Delete Sometimes we are
presented with datamine models that have XINC YINC and ZINC fields which are
populated (explicitly) but the values recorded against each and every records are
the same and also match the information in the block model header. These
models are regular models and the storing of the values for XINC etc is a waste
of time and disk space. When these models are converted to gmdlb, we
recognise this and at the end of the conversion, delete the fields to reduce
space. Also, when viewed in table viewer, the Model Information page will stage
"Regular Datamine Block Model" because a test is done to verify if any of the
values in the XINC, YINC or ZINC fields differ from the prototype parent cells
sizes (the case for sub-celled model). Previously, if the user tried to use Fields
Copy or Fields Delete to delete these unnecessary fields from their Datemine
model, the file would be corrupted, because the implicit field information for
these files (which informs the prototype parent cell size of the model) would also
be deleted. This is no longer the case.
