DWM Map View

  

The Directional Well Module's Map View (DWM) and works like a simplified version of the Map Module.  It displays:

  • Wells
  • Well paths
  • Overlay data
  • Grids.

When you launch the Directional Well Module it opens with the Map window displayed.  The Map window cannot be closed, but it can be minimized. To reopen this window after minimizing it click the Map view button on the Directional Well Module's toolbar.

Display options include:

  • Enable / disable the Profile View outline
  • Show Secondary Surveys - Petra can store multiple directional surveys in the project database.  This is commonly used for proposed well plans and actual directional surveys.  When this option is enabled, both primary and secondary directional surveys are displayed on the map.  

When this option is disabled, the Map View will only show "active" surveys.
