Major Deswik.Sched Updates

 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.
While the core functionality and feature-set of Deswik.Sched have been retained, we have made significant
improvements to the ribbons and other navigation controls, with a focus on usability and efficiency. Please refer to
the attached video and the notes below for more information regarding the updates and enhancements to
Deswik.Sched.
Redesign
We have redesigned the ribbon and icon set in response to user feedback and in line with best practice user interface
and user experience guidelines. Some of the benefits are:
l Groupings are by feature or function in close alignment to a typical workflow.
l Prebuilt templates for beginner and advanced users, with the view to extend the templates for different sectors.
l A new icon set with consistent iconography, including color scheme, level of detail, and the reuse of common
concepts across Deswik.Sched.
l A clearer view of the location, status, and availability of functions.
Custom template configurations

There are now three predefined templates to choose from:
l Beginner: for those that are less experienced users or work within a limited function set.
l Advanced: for those that work across a broader scope or are more experienced using Deswik.Sched.
l Deswik Classic: retains the original ribbon and icon locations though displays the new naming convention.
6
You will be asked to select one of these options the first time you log on to Deswik.Sched 2019.1. However, it is
possible to switch between them at any point by right-clicking any blank space on the ribbon and selecting your
preferred option from the list.
If you would prefer a template more aligned with the specific requirements of your role, you can also create your own
custom ribbon, as covered below.
Customizing ribbons
If you would prefer to create your own ribbon for yourself or your team, with the tabs, groups and commands of your
choice there is a quick and easy way to do so.
To access the CUSTOMIZE RIBBON dialog box, right-click any blank space on the ribbon and select Customize the
Ribbon. Select the functions you require and then name and save the template to add it to your list of usable
templates.
l You can rename any ribbon, tab, group or command.
l You can also import and export ribbons to share amongst your team or department.
For more information about customizing ribbons, see Customizing Ribbons in the Deswik.Suite help.
Quick Launch
With the redesign of Deswik.Sched it is understandable that locating some functions will be a bit of a challenge
initially. The QUICK LAUNCH search bar will help you find what you need.
l To use QUICK LAUNCH navigate to the Quick Launch search field in the top-right corner of the main page OR
press Alt + Q.
l Start typing the name of the function and a list of possible options will display.
l Click the correct option to navigate directly to the function.
For more information about these topics or any other enhancements or functionality, see Deswik.Suite help.

Open Cut Coal
Deswik.CAD
New commands and features

l Draw menu:
o Draw | Polylines | Concave Around Points: Draw an outline polyline on a specified plane around a point
cloud entity (or other entity types including POINT, POINTS, POLYLINE and POLYFACE entities).
o Draw | Regular Grid | Over Entities: Automatically draw a regular 2D polygon (or polyface) grid or a 3D
box grid over selected entities in plan view.
l Edit menu:
o Edit | Filters | Isolate Selected Entities On Layers: Hide all visible, unselected entities that sit on the
same layer as selected entities.
l File menu:
o File | Import | OBJ: Import a Wavefront OBJ file (files with *.obj extensions) to the selected layer in the
active file.
l Format menu:
o Format | Drawing Defaults From Entity: Update the drawing default settings (including pen color, pen
width, line type, line type scale, and line weight) in the active document from the properties of a selected
entity.
 Selecting a text entity or dimension will also update the default font (text style) or dimension style.
o Format | Snap Mode: Press F3 to display a new, interactive dialog box at your cursor location while
running any command that requires you to select points. Use your mouse wheel and Spacebar to quickly
8
move through snap modes to turn them on or off.
l Formula Builder: 1 new function, 1 new Field.
o INSIDELEVEL: Returns the level at which one polygon sits inside another polygon.
o *PenWidth: You can now select the pen width variable property as a Field.
l Modify menu:
o Modify | Format Painter: Update the common Variable Properties that govern the appearance of a
selected entity to match those of another entity.
o Modify | Polygons | Boolean Bulk: Perform multiple Boolean operations in a defined sequence on mul-
tiple polygons.
9
 This command extends the Modify | Polygons | Boolean Operations functionality, letting you
perform multiple Boolean operations across multiple polygons on different layers.
o Modify | Polylines | Offset To Midpoint: Offset a selected polyline to the midpoint of another polyline.
o Modify | Polylines | Points | Set Elevation: Change the elevation of selected vertices on a polyline.
o Modify | Solids | Cut | By Polylines To Volume: Cut multiple input solids into two or more solids using
selected polylines to make the cut, such that output solids have a specific volume. Optional; group polylines
and solids with common attribute values before cutting.
 This new command is similar to the existing By Polyline To Volume command. However, that command
can only cut a single solid with a single polyline. This new command lets you cut multiple input solids
using multiple polylines.
l Tools menu:
o Tools | Query | Interactive Accumulations: Query the values of selected attributes on polygons on a
selected layer. Perform multiple calculations (for example, weighted average, minimum and maximum
values) on those attributes. Assign results to polygons as a new attribute. Optional; union polygons together
as part of the process.
l View menu:
o View | Plane Definitions | Create By Grouping From View: Group visible entities by one or more
common attributes to create multiple plane definitions.
Enhancements and modifications

l Draw menu:
o Draw | Annotation | Point Manually: Previously, you could only annotate the Z coordinate of a selected
point. Now you can also annotate X and Y.
 This feature has been added back to the 2018.4 version of Deswik.Suite.
o Draw | Annotation | Polylines (and Drillholes): Use the new Group COG option on the Position tab
to display a single label at the center of gravity of each group of polylines (or drillholes) with the same value
for the attribute or formula specified on the Data tab.
10
o Draw | Points | At Intersections: Previously, this command would only draw points at real intersections
in 3D. Now you can use the new In view check box to 'also' draw points at 'apparent' intersections in the
current view plane.
o Draw | Ramp Tools | Decline: The end point coordinates for the last section in the active decline are now
displayed under the grid. These coordinates update automatically as you add new sections.
o Draw | Ramp Tools | Ramp: Use the new Clockwise first and Counterclockwise first options to
specify which ramp to draw first when drawing ramps in both directions. This feature works together with
the new Flat pad option, which lets you adjust the source contour at the ramp entrance in two different
ways. If you are generating a single ramp, select Flat pad to insert a flat pad of a specified length before the
ramp's insertion point. If you are generating ramps in both directions, select Flat pad to insert a flat pad of
the specified width between the ramp toes.
11
o Draw | Text | Block Text: Previously, you could only display single line text values in blocks or title blocks.
Now you can use the characters '\P' to display text on multiple lines. For example, enter 'This is line 1. \PThis
is line 2.' to see the following:
o Draw | Text | Interactive | Text: Previously, you could only modify an existing, single line text string
through the PROPERTIES window, or by double-clicking it in the Model Space. Now, you can right-click and use
the new Edit Text In Editor command that appears at the top of the Model Space shortcut menu to edit
12
the text string using a text editor (similar to the Modify | Text | Multiline | Edit In Editor command).
l Edit menu:
o Edit | Filter | Interactive Filter: Previously, only commonly used properties were available to filter on.
Now you can use the Tools | Show All Properties command to display and use any standard property for
all entity types.
 This change has been added back to the 2018.4 version of Deswik.Suite.
o Edit | Select: Previously, to cycle through coincident entities, you simply had to left-click the same location
on those entities. Each click would select the 'next' entity. Due to conflicts with this action and other
commands, you now need to left-click in the same location rapidly. See Cycle through coincident
entities for an animated demonstration.
o Edit | Select By Polygon | Inside OR Outside: Previously, you could only use an existing polygon to
govern the selection of entities. Now you can also digitize a polygon around the entities you want to select.
l File menu:
o File | Export | CSV Or Text File: You can now select the pen width variable property in the Attributes
and Properties grid.
o File | Export | Surpac | DTM: Previously, this command did not support the export of attributes other
13
than a 'name' attribute. Now you can use the new 'Other Attributes' grid to export additional attributes.
These attributes will be added to the vertices in the exported *.str file so that they can be imported into
Surpac.
o File | Import | Data Source: When importing data from an SQLServer or Oracle database, use the new
Timeout field to specify the number of seconds that Deswik.CAD should try to attempt to communicate
with the server before returning a timeout error.
 This feature has also been added to the previous version of Deswik.Suite.
l Format menu:
o Format | Block Model Display: Previously if you wanted to apply a 'hard' filter to limit the input block
model, you could only work with an existing filter. Now you can create new 'hard' filters using fields from the
block model right from the filter field.
l Modify menu:
o Modify | Attributes | Using Formula: Previously, if you left the Group value blank and the attribute
already existed in a group, the attribute was removed from the group, and group was deleted. To prevent
this from happening, now you can enter an asterisk (*) in the Group field. If the attribute belongs to a group
already, nothing will change.
o Modify | Explode:
14
n Block model shells: You can now explode BLOCKMODELSHELL entity types into polyface and
3DFACE entities.
n Text: Previously, this command would explode text strings created from *.shx font types such that
each letter resulted in multiple LINE entities. Now, the command explodes SHX text strings into
individual polylines, one for each letter in the string.
Prior to 2018.3
2018.3
 These features have been added back to the 2018.3 version of Deswik.Suite.
o Modify | Solids | Polygons | Boolean Operations | Union By Attribute: Previously, polygons within
polygons (that is, 'holes') were always considered separately in the Boolean process, resulting in overlapping
polygons. Use the new Generate holes feature to join any inner polygon 'holes' to the outer polygon,
(which changes how the area inside a 'hole' is handled by the Boolean).
o Modify | Polylines | Project | Projection RuleS: Previously, if projection angles were extracted from
attributes or block model fields, they were always assumed to be in degrees, even if you specified a different
gradient convention for the Default value. Select the new Apply gradient convention to all values
check box to apply the gradient unit convention specified attribute or block model field values instead.
o Modify | Solids | Boolean Operations | Union By Volume: Use the new Vertical tolerance field to
limit the solids merged to those that physically touch within a specified distance.
15
o Modify | Solids | Close and Modify | Solids | Validate: Previously, these commands would
automatically remove any duplicate triangles present in input solids as part of the validation (or healing)
process. However, removing these triangles solids imported into Deswik.CAD from other mining packages
could sometimes cause problems when performing Booleans. You can now use the new duplicate triangle
options in either command to turn this feature off if required.
Validate
Close
 By default, the Keep duplicate triangles check box will be cleared, and the Remove both duplicate
triangles check box will be selected. We recommend that you do not change these settings unless you are
experiencing major problems with Booleans, or your data has come from an external mining package.
When working with Deswik.CAD data, there should never be a need to keep duplicate triangles.
o Modify | Solids | Repair: This command now handles duplicate triangles in solids imported from other
16
mining software packages.
l Process maps:
o Batch Interrogation: Previously, if the interrogation settings used filters or legends that did not exist in
the active file, it would run without them. Now you can use the new Import legends and filters button to
import any existing filters and legends from the active file onto the node in the process map. These will then
be used during the interrogation. If you select the new Update filters and legends check box , when the
node is clicked to run the interrogation, the legends and filters will also be copied from the node into the
active file.
o Drawing Defaults | Get From Entity Use this new feature to automatically populate the various fields for
this command with the properties or attributes of an existing entity. The fields that populate are dependent
on the option selected in the drop-down list to the right.
o Modify | Move | Move Or Copy To Layers: Select the new Fail if no data exists to move or copy
check box to end the command without performing any of the specified moves following a rule where there
are no entities in the entity selection. Clear the check box if you want the command to continue to the next
rule.
l Tools menu:
o Tools| Drillholes | Desurvey: When importing data from an SQLServer or Oracle database, use the new
17
o Tools| Drillholes | Export Polylines To CSV:
n This command now supports the export of drillholes directly from a Deswik drillhole database (*.ddd
files) in addition to drillhole polylines. As a result, it has been renamed to Tools | Drillholes | Export
To CSVs to better reflect its dual purpose. Multiple new options have been added in this process.
n Previously if the export process failed, you were required to re-enter all of the settings used because
the dialog box did not remember the settings from the last time the command was run. Now you can
use the new import and export buttons to save your settings to an XML file before running the
command.
18
 The import/export buttons have been added back to the 2018.1 version of Deswik.Suite.
o Tools| Drillholes | Load Drillholes From Database: Previously if you wanted to apply a 'hard' filter
based on the attributes on the drillholes to limit the drillholes that were imported, you had to first import all
of the drillholes in order to import the drillhole attributes, create the filter, then use the Modify Database
command to re-import the drillholes, this time applying the 'existing' filter. Now you can create a 'hard' filter
19
based on the drillhole attributes (both segment and entire hole) at the time of the import.
o Tools | Geological Models | Datamine | Commands:
n Drillholes Filter: Previously if you wanted to apply a 'hard' filter based on the attributes on the
drillholes to limit the drillholes that were exported to the new file, you had to first import all of the
drillholes in order to import the drillhole attributes, and then create the filter that you wanted to use.
Now you can create new 'hard' filters at the time of import based on the drillhole attributes (both
segment and entire hole) right from the filter field.
n Block Model Filter, Interpolate Nearest Neighbor and Interpolate Inverse Power: Previously if
you wanted to apply a 'hard' filter to limit the input block model, you could only work with an existing
filter. Now you can create new 'hard' filters using fields from the block model right from the filter field.
o Tools| Options | System tab: Use the new Working plane guide color field to change the color of the
working plane guide that displays when you run the View | Working Plane | Show Guide command.
o Tools | Query | Attributes And Properties: You can now select the pen width variable property in the
20
Attributes and Properties grid.
o Tools | Query | Surface Cut And Fill Volumes:
n Entity selection: Previously, you were prompted to interactively select limiting polygons in the Model
Space. Now you can use the new Entity selection options to choose multiple polygons with ease.
n Write attributes to polygons: Use this new check box to assign volume results as attributes to the
limiting polygons.
o Tools | Shortcuts: Previously, you could not use keyboard shortcuts if you were already in the process of
executing a command. You had to end or cancel the active command first. Now you can use shortcuts for
any Snap mode command while running another command.
21
o Tools | Remove All Presentation Coloring:
n Entity selection: Previously, you could not isolate specific entities to remove color from. The
command automatically removed color from every entity in the file. This new option lets you remove
color from specific entities.
n Remove polyface capping color: If you have selected the Cap Clipped Solid property check box and
applied different capping colors to multiple solids, select this new check box to easily switch all capping
22
colors back to the color of the solid (default color).
o Tools | Strip | Strip Block Layout: Previously, you could only generate a single block layout (from one
bounding polygon, and one strip line) at a time. Use the options on the new Multiple tab to create multiple
layouts from sets of bounding polygons and strip lines (one in each set).
Known issues
l CAD-33814: View | Visual Styles | Animation - Some animations require the Refresh button to be clicked
before they can be played.
23
Deswik.Draft

l Edit | Global Constants: Previously, this command was not available in Deswik.Draft. However, because global
constants are used frequently in block text when plotting, this command is now supported.
24
Deswik.Enviro

l Reshape Landform module
o Honor design surfaces: Specify one or more surfaces to constrain the output reshaped surface.
Deswik.Enviro will ignore gradient constraints, and apply cut and fill to the output surface as needed to
match the supplied surfaces. You may select multiple layers, and each layer may contain one or more design
surfaces.
o Backfill surfaces and Maximum surfaces: Previously, you could only select a single layer that contained
a single surface. Now you can specify multiple layers, and each of these layers can have multiple,
disconnected surfaces.
o Minimum surfaces: Use one or more surfaces to define a lower boundary when finding optimal fill for the
output reshaped landform. If selected, Deswik.Enviro cannot cut below the specified control surfaces.
 Although using a minimum surface will prevent material from being taken from below the surface,
Deswik.Enviro can still choose to cover the surface with backfill if doing so will produce an optimal result.
o Drainage: Use the options on this new tab to incorporate drainage pattern in the output reshaped
25
landform.
26
Deswik.FM
Introducing Deswik.FM Web

Deswik.FM Web lets you access your Deswik.FM files using a web interface. Using Deswik.FM Web, you can:
l Search for files or folders
l Share files or folders
l Download files
l Tag files
27

l Deswik.FM Administration | Security | Tags: You can now define tags that can be attached to files and
viewed in Deswik.FM Web. There are two types of tags you can create:
o Persistent: Generally used for common tags which will always be relevant, such as tags pertaining to a
region of your mine or to a particular machine. Persistent tags are sorted and shown alphabetically.
o Periodic: Generally have fleeting relevance, such as tags relating to this week's operational plan. Periodic
tags are sorted and shown by their creation date, with the most recent first.
l Deswik.FM dock window | Shortcut menus: We have added new commands to the shortcut menus:
o Copy URL: Copy the URL for the file or folder to your clipboard. You can then share the URL with your
colleagues to provide easy access to it.
o Manage Tags: Select a tag to apply to the file, or remove an existing tag from it.
o Tag All Files: Select a tag to apply to all files in the folder.

l Deswik.FM Administration | Setup | Integration: Use the new check Enable FM Web Access check box to
allow your users to access files via Deswik.FM Web.
28
Deswik.IS

l Reporting | Cut task solids along mining direction by date: We have renamed this command from Cut
bench block solid face positions to make it clear that you can cut any type of task solid based on a mining
direction, not just bench blocks.
l Reporting | Cut tunnels and outlines by date: We have changed the Production fields to add as
attributes tab. This tab has been renamed to Schedule fields to add as attributes, and can now be used to
add custom fields, along with production fields, that you want to set attributes for on the output graphics.
l Scheduling | Dependency Creation: We have added a new button, , to the Manual assignment tab of
the DEPENDENCY CREATION dialog box that you can use to create multiple two-point dependencies that are not
necessarily in a chain. You are prompted to select both the first and second points of each dependency to be
created. This is different to the interactive dependency creation method where the second dependency starts
from the predecessor of the previous dependency.
l Settings | Activity Types: We have added two new buttons to the ACTIVITY TYPE DEFINITIONS dialog box that
make it easier to copy field value setups between activity type definitions. After selecting the row that contains
the values you want to copy, click , and then choose which field values that you want to copy. Then you
29
select the row that you want to copy the field values to, and click .
30
Deswik.OPDB

l Create holes | Create trim holes along a polyline | Hole options | Dip holes toward polyline:
Previously, you could only specify a single dip value that would be applied to all blast holes. This feature gives you
the option to use a polyline to control the placement of toes.
 This is also useful if you want to create a row of blast holes between two design lines.
l Modify existing holes | Blast hole annotations: When you are working in plan view, vertical holes are not
visible unless hole markers and annotations are showing. If you prefer to turn off visibility of the ANNOTATIONS
and MARKERS layers, it can appear that a drillhole pattern does not exist in the Model Space. Now, you can
choose to turn on the Show Hole IDs and Show Hole Markers properties for all holes in the drillhole pattern.
In the DRILL PATTERN MANAGER, on the Modify existing holes tab, two new commands are available under the
Blast hole annotations section.
31
 Layer Annotations include Collar markers and Toe markers that you configure in the Hole Template that
the drill pattern is based on, as well as custom Annotations you have defined in the HOLE ANNOTATION dialog
box. These are all useful for the visualization of holes, showing where holes have exceeded defined minimum
and maximum distances (using Hole proximity warnings), and for use in color legends. Layer annotations are
often customized for plotting purposes.
 Property annotations are attributes that are generated on the holes layer only, and are useful for layer
management, and for accurate selection and movement of holes around construction limits and hazards.
o Layer annotations: Turn on visibility of the ANNOTATIONS and MARKERS layers in the Layer Control
window.
o Property annotations: Turn on the visibility of the Show Hole IDs and the Show Hole Markers properties
for all holes in the selected drill pattern. This command also clears the visibility of the ANNOTATIONS and
MARKERS LAYERS in the Layer Control window.
l Modify existing holes | Select holes by row: When you want to modify all holes on a particular row, you can
32
now select the row and all holes on that row will be automatically selected. You can then apply any of the
modification tools on the selected row of holes.
l Modify existing holes | Move holes away from hazards: Previously, if you needed to move holes outside
the influence of a hazard, such as a bootleg, you would need to do so manually. Now you can automatically move
blast holes that fall within the specified distance of a hazard. You can choose to have blast holes moved in any
direction, or along a row.
 In the following example, blast holes that fell within the specified distance from the bootlegs have been
automatically moved. Note that some holes cannot be moved automatically, for example, holes with Hole ID '3'
and '4' were not moved, and a message appears in the Output window advising you to inspect these holes
manually.
33

l Surface override honors hole location: Previously, when applying a surface override, the hole is either
shortened or lengthened along the hole vector to the surface. Now, you can register the hole to the surface, so
that the hole is moved vertically instead of being reduced or increased in length. To move a hole vertically
without changing its length, select the Collar Override or Toe Override surface, and then select one of the
following property check boxes:
o Collar surface project vertical: Select this check box when using a collar surface override, to register the
hole to the surface without changing the hole length.
o Toe surface project vertical: Select this check box when using a toe surface override, to register the hole
to the surface without changing the hole length.
34
Deswik.OPSTS

l Assign Resources | Assign By | Interactive Selection: This command provides an additional method of
assigning resources. As you select blocks in the Model Space, the INTERACTIVE SELECTION dialog box lists the tasks
you have selected and shows a cumulative total VOLUME and TONNES. Deselect the block by clicking on it again,
and the task is removed, and totals updated.
35

l Scheduling | Resource Assignment | Delay | Add or Delete: Previously, when you added a delay to the
resource path, it was not possible to see where that delay was in the Model Space. Now, when you add a delay, a
text marker appears along the resource path to show where delays have been added, and indicates the duration
of the delay in number of days.
 To remove a delay, you can now see where the delay exists and select the block polygon either before or after
the delay marker on the resource path. For example, in the preceding example, the 2 day delay is associated
with the block polygon before the last task in the resource path. If you want to delete the delay, select Delete
Before, and then follow the prompts to select the last block polygon on the resource path. The delay and
associated marker are deleted from the Model Space and schedule.
l Scheduling | Resource assignment | Resource level after each click: Previously, resource leveling
occurred every time you clicked a block when assigning resources. Now, you can choose to execute resource
leveling only after you right-click or press ESC to complete the resource assignment command. Select this check
box to run resource leveling after each block selection. Clear this check box to run resource leveling only after
completing the command.
36
 The resource assignment process is faster if you clear this check box and run resource leveling after completing
the command.
l Select and Reset | Highlight OPSTS Task: When viewing tasks in a Deswik.OPSTS schedule, you can now
select a task and have the corresponding block highlighted in the Model Space. First, the command searches for a
matching task on the current bench, if the task is located on another bench, Deswik.OPSTS switches to the
relevant bench in the bench grid, and highlights the corresponding block in the Model Space with a hatch pattern.
l Short Term Scheduling Setup Wizard | Bench elevations | Remove benches with no data: Perform a
check of bench settings, by intersecting the elevation (or surface) with the solid, and remove any benches that do
not contain data.
 This command is also included on the CREATE BENCHES dialog box, when you execute the Build from extents
command. Select the Do no add if no data on bench check box to only generate benches that contain data.
 This command is useful if you have multiple input solids, and there are gaps between them that generate
empty benches (for example, bottom of the pit in one phase, and top of the pit in another phase).
l Short Term Scheduling Setup | Mining Schedule Setup | Delay Date: Previously, you would specify a date
in the future as the schedule Delay Date. Now, you specify a period of time to add to today's date, in days,
weeks, or months. For example, 'today plus 3 months'. The delay date will remain in the future for all new tasks
37
that are generated.
l Tools | Build Period Surfaces | Exclude deletion polygon tasks from surface: Previously, by default,
when executing the Build Period Surfaces command, any deletion polygons you had in place were not
considered in the period surfaces. Now, you can choose whether to exclude deletion polygon tasks from the
period surface generated. Clear the check box to include deletion polygon tasks in the generated period surface.

Deswik.Sched

l Formula Builder Functions: Two new functions.
o AVERAGE: Returns the average of all of the supplied parameters.
o SUM: Returns the sum of all of the supplied parameters.
l Printing:
o File | Batch Print: You can now create, configure and save a batch print job with multiple layouts and
preferences, and print it as a single job. Previously, each print job had to be created and printed individually
which, for regularly scheduled print jobs, was onerous and time-consuming.
l Reporting:
o Scheduling | Report Options: The new Automatic resources report generates a set of predetermined
fields for each resource in the schedule, which is added to a permanent report. The report automatically
40
updates any time the resources or calendars are altered.
l Ribbon and icon re-design:
o Custom template configurations: Previously, the ribbon always displayed all options. It is now possible to
select either a Beginner or Advanced predefined template, utilizing the new ribbon and icon configuration,
to more closely match the functions you need to perform. If you would prefer to use Deswik.Sched as you
have in the past you can also select a Deswik Classic template which reverts to the original ribbon and icon
locations, though displays the new naming convention.
o Customizing ribbons: You can also create your own customized ribbons, with functions to suit your role or
the work of your department.
o Re-design: We have redesigned the ribbon and icon set in response to user feedback and in line with best
41
practice user interface and user experience guidelines.

l Formula Builder Functions: Enhancement to existing functions.
o AND, OR, MIN, and MAX: Previously, these functions only supported a maximum of two fields. Now you can
use additional parameters by adding values between the round brackets with a comma in between each, for
example, AND(A=B,C=1,D=0).
l Scheduling | Export Reports: When importing data from a SQLServer or Oracle database, click Database
Options to use the new Timeout feature. You can specify the number of seconds that Deswik.Sched should
attempt to communicate with the server before returning a timeout error.
l Scheduling | Report Options: Previously, all reports were displayed in tab format at the bottom of the
Reporting Grid. As more reports were added, it became more difficult to locate specific reports or those that were
printed regularly. It is now possible to deselect reports by clearing the corresponding boxes so that only certain
reports remain visible.
l Tasks | Activity Controls:
o Previously, when adding a new activity cycle the only options were to add the activity cycle as a child of the
parent task or to permanently replace a parent task with the activity cycle. Now, you can add an activity
cycle that inherits the properties of the parent task, while leaving the task itself unchanged.
42
o Previously, when a new task template or task cycle was dropped on to a dependency, no settings were
inherited from the parent task which meant that the task was set up with no associated values. Now, you
can select the Predecessor or Successor task as the parent of the selected dependency so that the new
task inherits the properties of the relevant predecessor or successor task. This can be useful as location
attributes, such as level, pit and bench can be carried across. If you would like to set up the task with no
associated values select None.
l Tasks | Activity Templates:
o You now use the Link to the parent task graphic check box to set the DIS Linked Graphic ID attribute
value to the parent task ID when an activity template or activity cycle is dragged on to an Deswik.IS derived
task. This ensures that the interactive filtering in Deswik.IS works correctly if a new task from a template is
selected. Previously, this behavior was only demonstrated if a task template or a task cycle was dragged on
to a parent task.
l View | Process Maps: As the ribbon and icon configuration has been updated in Deswik.Sched, process maps
have been updated accordingly. Process maps created using previous versions of Deswik.Sched are no longer
valid in the current version, therefore, when opened you will be prompted to upgrade them. You can choose to
43
not upgrade them so they remain compatible with previous versions, though they will display as read only in the
current version. If Deswik.Sched cannot upgrade a process map you will be prompted to edit it manually.
Bug fixes, reporting, and output changes

Resource Leveling
l Scheduling | Leveling Options: Previously, you could select the Preference Priority Over Utilization
option to influence resource leveling. This option is no longer available. If a schedule is opened that had this
feature enabled the following message will display: "This model previously had Preference Priority Over
Utilization enabled. This feature is now obsolete, please contact Support if you have any questions."

Use the new Resolution field to limit subcelling in the 3rd axis by specifying a resolution to use,
perpendicular to the defined plane, when filling a block. Any integer value greater than zero will subcell
to a fraction of the parent cell size (that is, 1/Resolution). Enter '0' to maintain a precise boundary
(previous behavior).

containing multiple polyfaces with quality attributes, which are in the correct spatial location and clipped
against any faults).
 This new import method handles faulting, including complex reverse faulted models.
o Tools | Pit | Pit Design:
58
 We recommend that you visit the Benches section in the Pit Design topic in the Help file to review the new
documentation in full.
n Benches: To help automate the process of pit design, the Current elevation and Target elevation
fields have been replaced with Current elevation and Next elevation fields that autopopulate based
on your current pit design, and a new Elevations grid that gives you the ability to add both single
benches and bench ranges. This new grid format also makes it easy for you to vary bench heights in
your design, if desired.
 The Pit direction and Offset direction fields have also been moved from the PIT DESIGN SETTINGS
dialog box to the new Benches section in an effort to keep relevant fields together.
n Select base Previously, if you changed the elevation on the base polyline for any reason, you could use
this tool to reselect the base polyline. This action would then delete all of the elements from your
design after that elevation. Existing pit elements on elevations before the new base elevation would
remain in the Model Space, but they would no longer be part of the design. In an effort to avoid
possible confusion regarding which polylines might or might not belong to a pit design, we have
changed the behavior of this button. Now, when you select a new base polyline, the tool will also
deleteall existing design polylines (faces, ramps, berms) down to that new base.
n Iterations: In an effort to clarify the purpose of the fields in this section, we have renamed the
Number field to Count, and the Faces field to Faces/iteration (faces per iteration). In addition, you
are now restricted to a maximum of 5 faces per iteration to prevent misuse of this tool.
l To end of bench list: Previously, you were required to specify the exact number of iterations to
run. Select this new check box to run iterations until the last elevation in the current bench list is
59
reached.
o Tools | Query | Block Model Cell: You can now apply a text or value filter to data in the grid to isolate

Deswik.Enviro

l Reshape Landform module
o Honor design surfaces: Specify one or more surfaces to constrain the output reshaped surface.
Deswik.Enviro will ignore gradient constraints, and apply cut and fill to the output surface as needed to
match the supplied surfaces. You may select multiple layers, and each layer may contain one or more design
surfaces.
o Backfill surfaces and Maximum surfaces: Previously, you could only select a single layer that contained
a single surface. Now you can specify multiple layers, and each of these layers can have multiple,
disconnected surfaces.
o Minimum surfaces: Use one or more surfaces to define a lower boundary when finding optimal fill for the
output reshaped landform. If selected, Deswik.Enviro cannot cut below the specified control surfaces.
 Although using a minimum surface will prevent material from being taken from below the surface,
Deswik.Enviro can still choose to cover the surface with backfill if doing so will produce an optimal result.
o Drainage: Use the options on this new tab to incorporate drainage pattern in the output reshaped
66
landform.

l Create holes | Create trim holes along a polyline | Hole options | Dip holes toward polyline:
Previously, you could only specify a single dip value that would be applied to all blast holes. This feature gives you
the option to use a polyline to control the placement of toes.
 This is also useful if you want to create a row of blast holes between two design lines.
l Modify existing holes | Blast hole annotations: When you are working in plan view, vertical holes are not
visible unless hole markers and annotations are showing. If you prefer to turn off visibility of the ANNOTATIONS
and MARKERS layers, it can appear that a drillhole pattern does not exist in the Model Space. Now, you can
choose to turn on the Show Hole IDs and Show Hole Markers properties for all holes in the drillhole pattern.
In the DRILL PATTERN MANAGER, on the Modify existing holes tab, two new commands are available under the
Blast hole annotations section.
72
 Layer Annotations include Collar markers and Toe markers that you configure in the Hole Template that
the drill pattern is based on, as well as custom Annotations you have defined in the HOLE ANNOTATION dialog
box. These are all useful for the visualization of holes, showing where holes have exceeded defined minimum
and maximum distances (using Hole proximity warnings), and for use in color legends. Layer annotations are
often customized for plotting purposes.
 Property annotations are attributes that are generated on the holes layer only, and are useful for layer
management, and for accurate selection and movement of holes around construction limits and hazards.
o Layer annotations: Turn on visibility of the ANNOTATIONS and MARKERS layers in the Layer Control
window.
o Property annotations: Turn on the visibility of the Show Hole IDs and the Show Hole Markers properties
for all holes in the selected drill pattern. This command also clears the visibility of the ANNOTATIONS and
MARKERS LAYERS in the Layer Control window.
l Modify existing holes | Select holes by row: When you want to modify all holes on a particular row, you can
73
now select the row and all holes on that row will be automatically selected. You can then apply any of the
modification tools on the selected row of holes.
l Modify existing holes | Move holes away from hazards: Previously, if you needed to move holes outside
the influence of a hazard, such as a bootleg, you would need to do so manually. Now you can automatically move
blast holes that fall within the specified distance of a hazard. You can choose to have blast holes moved in any
direction, or along a row.
 In the following example, blast holes that fell within the specified distance from the bootlegs have been
automatically moved. Note that some holes cannot be moved automatically, for example, holes with Hole ID '3'
and '4' were not moved, and a message appears in the Output window advising you to inspect these holes
manually.
74

l Surface override honors hole location: Previously, when applying a surface override, the hole is either
shortened or lengthened along the hole vector to the surface. Now, you can register the hole to the surface, so
that the hole is moved vertically instead of being reduced or increased in length. To move a hole vertically
without changing its length, select the Collar Override or Toe Override surface, and then select one of the
following property check boxes:
o Collar surface project vertical: Select this check box when using a collar surface override, to register the
hole to the surface without changing the hole length.
o Toe surface project vertical: Select this check box when using a toe surface override, to register the hole
to the surface without changing the hole length.
l Tools | Add socket intersection markers | Generate proximity report: You can now produce a report in
*.csv format, listing selected base figures and the closest comparison figure.
 This enhancement automates the generation of a report that surveyors often need to produce. The report
shows whether each staked blast hole passes or fails a proximity test to the nearest hazard.
75
 In addition, this enhancement supports polylines as an input figure type (either as a figure to test against or as
a base figure. Now, the supported figure types are BlastHole, Point, Insert, Circle, and Polyline. Note that Points
(not POINT) can be used as a figure to test against only, not as a base figure.

Deswik.OPSTS

l Assign Resources | Assign By | Interactive Selection: This command provides an additional method of
assigning resources. As you select blocks in the Model Space, the INTERACTIVE SELECTION dialog box lists the tasks
you have selected and shows a cumulative total VOLUME and TONNES. Deselect the block by clicking on it again,
and the task is removed, and totals updated.
77

l Scheduling | Resource Assignment | Delay | Add or Delete: Previously, when you added a delay to the
resource path, it was not possible to see where that delay was in the Model Space. Now, when you add a delay, a
text marker appears along the resource path to show where delays have been added, and indicates the duration
of the delay in number of days.
 To remove a delay, you can now see where the delay exists and select the block polygon either before or after
the delay marker on the resource path. For example, in the preceding example, the 2 day delay is associated
with the block polygon before the last task in the resource path. If you want to delete the delay, select Delete
Before, and then follow the prompts to select the last block polygon on the resource path. The delay and
associated marker are deleted from the Model Space and schedule.
l Scheduling | Resource assignment | Resource level after each click: Previously, resource leveling
occurred every time you clicked a block when assigning resources. Now, you can choose to execute resource
leveling only after you right-click or press ESC to complete the resource assignment command. Select this check
box to run resource leveling after each block selection. Clear this check box to run resource leveling only after
completing the command.
78
 The resource assignment process is faster if you clear this check box and run resource leveling after completing
the command.
l Select and Reset | Highlight OPSTS Task: When viewing tasks in a Deswik.OPSTS schedule, you can now
select a task and have the corresponding block highlighted in the Model Space. First, the command searches for a
matching task on the current bench, if the task is located on another bench, Deswik.OPSTS switches to the
relevant bench in the bench grid, and highlights the corresponding block in the Model Space with a hatch pattern.
l Short Term Scheduling Setup Wizard | Bench elevations | Remove benches with no data: Perform a
check of bench settings, by intersecting the elevation (or surface) with the solid, and remove any benches that do
not contain data.
 This command is also included on the CREATE BENCHES dialog box, when you execute the Build from extents
command. Select the Do no add if no data on bench check box to only generate benches that contain data.
 This command is useful if you have multiple input solids, and there are gaps between them that generate
empty benches (for example, bottom of the pit in one phase, and top of the pit in another phase).
l Short Term Scheduling Setup | Mining Schedule Setup | Delay Date: Previously, you would specify a date
in the future as the schedule Delay Date. Now, you specify a period of time to add to today's date, in days,
weeks, or months. For example, 'today plus 3 months'. The delay date will remain in the future for all new tasks
79
that are generated.
l Tools | Build Period Surfaces | Exclude deletion polygon tasks from surface: Previously, by default,
when executing the Build Period Surfaces command, any deletion polygons you had in place were not
considered in the period surfaces. Now, you can choose whether to exclude deletion polygon tasks from the
period surface generated. Clear the check box to include deletion polygon tasks in the generated period surface.

 This enhancement lets you use more than one polyline to represent the centerline, which makes it easier
to assign individual attributes to sections of the drive without having to use polyline vertex attributes.
o Tools | Underground | Reconciliation: Previously, although you could use attributes to group input

mark up the distance along a development to the current face and annotate that position. Since the face is
continually advancing, this tool can help track and annotate these measurements and use them to bound
mapping work.
l Deswik.CAD | Tools | Geology | Face Mapping | Configure Features: We have added two new methods
that let you represent structural features:
o Structural 1 Point: Use this method to represent a structural feature, such as a fault, by digitizing a single
point. After you digitize the point, Deswik.GeoTools records the insertion point of the feature and prompt
you to provide the directions and length.
o Structural 2 Point: Use this method to represent a structural feature, such as a fault, by drawing a two
point polyline. After you digitize the polyline, Deswik.GeoTools records the azimuth of the feature,
determines the potential dip directions, and prompts you to provide the dip.

o Process Rings Configuration | Create Delay Symbols: Select the custom symbol and insertion point,
define the rings to use, and then specify the output layer. Click Generate to produce custom delay symbols
with associated block text and related attribute data.
 To use a custom symbol, the symbol must have the following BTEXT: ID (to identify the hole ID) and Delay
(to assign delay time) as a minimum. Other BTEXT options you can add include Charge length, Explosive,
Multiple explosives, Delay (base), Delay (1), Delay (2), Delay (3).

 This feature is useful if you use pivots extensively for checking drill rig clearances.
 To show the pivot marker in plan view, select Show pivot marker, under Display options on the Views and

n A new button to modify placed winze sections from the new Winze definitions tab.
n A new button to reverse the winze section look direction from the Winze definitions tab.
n The option to draw winze section plane guide lines and direction indicator.
n The ability to highlight the selected winze section profiler.

l Align winze section to existing ring: Previously, if you wanted to use an existing ring as a winze (slot) ring,
you would lay out all the rings and create the winze by snapping to the specific ring intersection with the
reference line. You would then delete the original ring, and rename the winze (slot) ring. Now, you have the
option to use an existing ring to determine the alignment of the winze section.
o Show Editor | Winze definitions | Add Winze Section: In the Reference line position section, select
the Ring alignment option. Select the Winze hole to align to the reference line, and then select Aligned
ring to determine the placement of the winze section.
l Assign detonators from the drillhole charging table: Previously, to assign detonators to a primer, you
would need to go into the EDIT PRIMERS AND BOOSTERS dialog box. You can now assign the detonator to the EDIT
RINGCharge holes table or the WINZE SECTION: EDIT CHARGE table
 The list of detonators is based on values in the detonator database.
145
o Edit Drillholes | Ring Properties | Charge holes tab: For each hole, select the detonator from the
Detonator column.
o Winze Sections | Current Winze Sections | Edit Placed Winze Section Properties | Edit: For each
hole, select the detonator from the Detonator column.
l Base delay, Delay offset, and Total Delay fields updated: To improve usability when assigning delay time
when using detonators, changes have been made to the fields used to manage delay time assignment.
o Edit Drillholes | Ring Properties | Charge holes | Edit Primers And Boosters: The following changes
have been made to the EDIT PRIMERS AND BOOSTERS dialog box:
n Base delay: Enter the base delay value for the drillhole in milliseconds.
n Delay offset: Enter the delay offset of the primer (from the base delay) in milliseconds.
n Total delay: Read-only; Shows the total delay for the primer. That is, the total of the Base Delay of
the drillhole and the Delay Offset of the primer.
 The Base delay field has been added above the grid. The Delay Offset field has been corrected, and the Total
Delay field has been added.
146
l Charge winze holes:
o Winze Sections | Current Winze Sections | Edit placed winze section properties: You can now
charge winze sections, in a similar way to manually placing charges on selected drillholes. In the EDIT WINZE
SECTION dialog box, click Edit to open the WINZE SECTION: EDIT CHARGE dialog box. Click Manual to open the
EDIT RING | CHARGE HOLES | MANUAL dialog box. From this point, the process is the same as detailed in the
Edit Drillholes | Charge Holes | Manual help topic.
l Configure extra layers in plan view, section view, and long view in the Model Space and on plots:
Previously, you could only select a limited number of layers to display in views and plots. Now, similar to the
options available for adding extra layers for ring sections, you can add extra layers in Long and Plan view and also
in plots. Additionally, you can create and specify layer definitions and apply these to show extra layers in views
and plots, and assign filters and legends.
o Show Editor | Views and plots tab | Extra layers: The Extra layers button has been moved from the
Settings tab to the Views and plots tab. Click Extra layers to open the EXTRA LAYER SETTINGS dialog box.
Add rows for each additional layer, or set of layers you want to show. You can select one or more of these
configurations using the Plan view extra layers, Long view extra layers, and Section view extra
layers fields on the Views and plots tab.
147
 To configure extra layers in Plan view and Section view, you must select the Show extra layers option
under the relevant Display options field.
l Copy ring plane attributes to blast solids: When a stope ring has been manually drawn, it inherits all the
attributes from the ring it is created on. Previously, after the blast solid was created, Deswik.UGDB would
remove all of these attributes, which are required to import the stope solid into the schedule. Now, when you run
the Blast Solids And Interrogation command, you can select the check box Copy ring attributes, to copy
attributes on each ring to the blast solid created against the ring.
o Process Rings Configuration | Blast Solids And Interrogation | Blast Solids Creation: Select the
Copy ring attributes check box to copy all static attributes from the ring plane definition to the blast solid,
148
created against the corresponding ring.
l Create hole annotations at defined elevation:
o Show Editor | Views and plots | Section view | Hole annotations | Drillhole annotations:
Previously, to create hole annotations at defined elevations for blasting layouts, you would need to export
drillholes as polylines, insert blocks to represent holes at specific elevation, and draw point annotation to
annotate Hole IDs. This enhancement supports the process by allowing you to specify a starting elevation
for annotation rows, so that you will only see hole annotations on holes that intersection with the specified
149
plane. This enhancement has also been added to the Plan plane definition.
l Export Survey Data: The Generate pivot markers option of the Export Survey Data command now
includes winze hole pivot data. In addition, you can now nominate individual rings (including winze sections), or
choose to export data for all rings, using the Export selected rings option.
o To generate winze data, select the Generate pivot markers check box.
o To nominate specific ring or winze section data to export, select the Export selected rings check box, and
select the required rings or winze sections.
l Merge existing rings: Under the Slot rings section, an option has been added to give you the opportunity to
merge existing rings.
o Winze Sections | Current Winze Sections | Edit Placed Winze Section Properties | Edit Winze
Section | Slot rings:
n Merge existing rings: Select this option to merge the slot ring with the nearest existing ring.
n Distance tolerance: The maximum distance from the proposed slot ring to the existing ring to include
in a merge.
n Azimuth tolerance: The maximum azimuth difference (in degrees) from the proposed slot ring to the
existing ring to include in a merge.
n Dump tolerance: The maximum dump difference (in degrees) from the proposed slot ring to the
existing ring to include in a merge.
When you click Update, the following prompt appears:
150
The created winze holes will be moved to the individual slot rings. Do you want to continue?
Click Yes to proceed with the merge.
The slot ring is merged with the nearest existing ring. That is, the slot ring is not created, instead winze holes
in that slot ring are copied into the existing ring.
n Audit: Select this check box to show a list of existing rings and slot rings to be merged. Select the
Merge check box for the existing rings and slot rings that you want to merge.
l Plot leads length and detonators: New attributes are available to allow you to plot the total leads length of all
primers in a single drillhole, in plan and section view, as well as total detonator numbers of all drillholes in each
ring in plan view.
o Plots | Show Plots Editor | Plot Configurations | Tables: Two new attributes, Leads Length and
Detonators attributes are available for selection.
