Micromine 2020.5 Service Pack 1

• Blast Design: Resolved a potential crash when using Automatic numbering in a Blasthole design.
• Blast Design: Fixed a bug where pressing Enter with Blast Design Create Pattern dialog collapsed could hang Micromine.
• The sub-drill distance is no longer added to the hole depths when new holes are added using Mining | Blasthole Design | Row | Extend.
• Fixed a problem in Mining | Blasthole Design where minimized tools could allow the user to run another instance and crash Micromine.
• Expressions: Improved ability to handle one field with different units in Block model report.
• Reorganised the options in Wireframe Grade-tonnage reporting to ensure that the default form points the user to the most robust method.
• Block models with merged sub-blocks that have exceeded the dimensions of the parent blocks can now be processed by Wireframe | Assign | Block Model | Sub blocks.
• Charts: Resolved a bug where Pressing Save after making a change in a loaded chart form would disable the Apply button.
• Resolved a crash that could occur when using automatic bins calculation in an Omnidirectional Semivariogram.
• Fixed a bug where Micromine would wrongly indicate that some files are edit-locked.
• Drillhole Log: Resolved a bug that could cause blue lines to lines appear down the side of log when making header frame selections.
• Fixed a Filter bug where the list of available text field values would be opened twice.
• In Expressions, resolved a problem where Expression Editor (or Validate Expression) could not be loaded without a valid file.
• Removed temporary spurious output generated by File | Fields | Extract.
• Edit Extents in Blank Block Model now correctly populates the Vizex Property Pane.
• Fixed a bug where a Text Hatch Set would always include the first code, ignoring the active filter.
• Fixed a bug in Cross Validation with the support of cokriging, where spurious numbers could be generated.
• Geostatistics: Fixed a problem where loading a cross covariogram would not refresh the chart.
• Wireframe | Report | Grade Tonnage: Modified compositing behaviour for points and drillholes to only weight using the method specified in the form.
• Image Georeferencing can now derive a solution from two control points.
• Implicit Modelling: Improved calculation of distances along folds to better preserving original sample distances.
• Implicit Modelling: Resolved creation of “tunnel” artefacts in Vein modelling when in Super fine mode.
• Implicit Modelling: Improved consistency of Vein output points.
• Implicit Modelling: The default wireframe output quality is now set Standard.
• Implicit Modelling: Fixed a bug in Fault modelling to ensure the Z-field is always specified.
• Implicit Modelling: Improved the gradient calculation to increase the speed when using a trend model.
• Automation: Macro reports now open in an expanded state.
• Improved consistency of Unicode Glyphs used to define the degree symbol.
• Resolved an issue where transparency would not work with in Pit Design.
• Fixed a bug where a 2D plot would warn about 3D objects, even though they are disabled.
• Fixed a bug where creating a new project from an existing project could crash Micromine.
• Resolved potential artefacts that could appear when defining block model extents.
• Resolved a problem where Micromine would incorrectly flag fields as compulsory when exporting a wireframe from Ring Design.
• The correct collar symbol is now displayed after importing as-drilled holes using Import | IREDES. Drillhole offset lines and collar symbols now respect the view settings specified in Mining | Ring Design | Open.
• Scheduling: eliminated the creation of spurious schedule optimiser reports on detecting a violation of constraints.
• Scheduling: Schedule Optimiser now displays better messages when an Infeasible problem formulation is encountered.
• Scheduler | Import | Wireframe Set: the size of the column can now be adjusted.
• Fixed a bug where some variogram Control Files created in v20.5 were not backward compatible with Micromine 2020.
• Seam Stratigraphy: Rearranged the dialog for a better workflow.
• In String and Point layers, ensured that label font sizes maintain their size when using Visibility tools.
• Insert Planar Intersection: Number of planes is now compulsory.
• Fixed a bug where Vizex Pie chart labels would hidden unless selected.
• Resolved an issue where editing string layer properties would sometimes refer to the wrong string.
• Resolved an issue where the SEG-Y Vizex layer would become invisible when placed inside a folder on the Vizex tree.
• Resolved a problem with the Interactive Search Ellipsoid, ensuring that a spherical search always remains spherical.
• Resolved a problem where Vizex Wireframe Properties with blank values would not be shown in the Properties.
• Fixed a bug where Wireframe | Cut | Keep inside would not create user attributes for the output wireframes.
• Resolved a bug in Wireframe | Calculation | Pierce Points where spurious inactive Pierce points are created
• Large numbers of sub-blocks can now be processed by Wireframe | Assign | Block Model | Sub blocks, Pit Optimiser | Mine | Definition, and Stope Optimiser | Mine | Definition.
