New Module in Version 2022 - GeoWriter

GeoWriter revolutionizes soil description note taking! First, you create your own shorthand dictionary of abbreviations for often-used geologic words and phrases. For example, “ftm,” could be defined to mean, “fine to medium.” In the field, use these abbreviations to write or type notes more quickly. If you have handwritten notes, OCR scan them with your smartphone then email them to yourself or a colleague. Or skip the scan step and take notes directly on your smartphone. Either way, GeoWriter imports the notes into QuickLog (or other software) and translates the shorthand to full soil descriptions in one step – no retyping! Also included with GeoWriter is a new Multi-Layer Lithology/Descriptions Editor – a new option for entering descriptions. Read complete article here.

New Features for QuickLog Version 2014

Globally Change Information in Multiple .BOR Files

Let's say that you just completed 40 boring log diagrams and now realize that you misspelled your client's name on each. Or, you decide that you want to add a new column in each of these 40 logs. You don't have to open and edit each of these files. Instead, you can use this utility to edit one file and then use it as a template to update the remaining files.

Multiple Computer Installs

To help your IT staff save time, we've included instructions detailing how they can install to one machine while setting up your logo, fill pattern files, description pick lists, etc. Then, they can copy that install to multiple machines duplicating the settings for the first machine.

Export to AGS

The AGS format is a data interchange format for the geotechnical community used widely around the world. It was setup in 1991 to reduce geotechnical data formats down to one standard format for transferring data between geotechnical & geoenvironmental databases and applications. Data from multiple boring log files (.BOR) can now be exported into one AGS 4.0 format data file.

Multi-Width Surface Casings

Previously, surface casings could be displayed with only a default width of borehole outside the casing. Now, the user can adjust this width and even display two different widths outside one surface casing.

More Sample Box Fill Patterns

Added is another core pattern as well as two diagonal line patterns.

Custom Header Updates - Vertical Text, Filled Rectangles

Using this editor, you can now add vertical text to customize your column headings. Also, you can add filled rectangles to create a legend for your sample box, well, and graphic columns.
