Import the control path settings and display parameters for everything in a new synthetic except logs from a default file. Log default settings are instead controlled by a centralized log database with one exception: when you update a default file with settings from the current synthetic, settings for the logs in the current synthetic are also saved to the import defaults file and override, but don't overwrite settings in the log defaults database. For details on changing log display, see Related topics below.
Create multiple import default files with a .def extension in the GeoSyn Working directory and then apply these defaults to a given synthetic when you launch it. For example, you could create unique default files for several different projects with differing criteria, or several default files for the same project that you switch between to view different scenarios.
Defaults can either be applied to the current model, or the parameters set in the current model can be applied to a default file that you then save for future use.
To change import defaults:
1. From the Edit menu, select Default
synthetic properties (
) > Import
Defaults.
The Properties: Import Defaults
dialog box opens.
2. Select an import defaults file to modify in the Current default file drop-down list or click New to display the New default file name dialog box and type a name for the file you will create. The new import defaults file inherits the settings of the current synthetic.
To apply changes that you've made in the current synthetic to the default file that other GeoSyn synthetics use, select the file in the Current default file box, then click Update beside the Update current default file with model label.
To
apply parameters from a default file to the current synthetic, select the default file in the Current
default file box, then click Update
beside the Update synthetic with current default file label.
The nodes in the import defaults file tree display settings from the selected file. Click to expand nodes and view their settings.
3. From the Edit Specific parameters drop-down list, select the synthetic properties to change (general synthetic, model, seismic, well, crossplot, tops, and user paths).
4. Configure the properties as desired then click OK to return to the Properties: Import Defaults tab.
5. Click Close to return to the main synthetic display with your changes applied.
The import defaults file listed in the Current default file drop-down list is automatically selected next time you launch GeoSyn and applies to all future synthetics derived from imported logs.
