Target for ArcGIS I Training

The Target for ArcGIS I course teaches users the fundamental tools for surface mapping and plotting drillhole data in Target for ArcGIS. Participants will learn to use key surface mapping tools, including importing data and assigning projection information, symbolising point data, and creating and displaying gridded data and contours. Drillhole data management tools for importing collar, survey, from-to, and point data and the QA/QC of drillhole data are also covered. The course also focuses on quickly and easily creating Quick Maps and shape files for plan maps, section maps, fence diagrams, strip logs and 3D views.
