Target 6.4.2 Update

September 25, 2007

Target 6.4.2 is a scheduled software update that addresses software improvements and corrects reported issues with Target.

Create a 3D PDF

New to this version is the ability to export a 3D subsurface view as a PDF file. Within Adobe Acrobat you are able to interact with the 3D view. It can be zoomed, rotated and individual data layers may be toggled off and on, or made transparent. This PDF export provides a simple way for you to share 3D subsurface data with colleagues and allow them the opportunity to interact with the data.

(Download as a zip file. Requires Acrobat Reader 8.1 to view the 3D content)
