4. GETTING STARTED
This training tutorial includes a mix of theory and practical exercises, on the underground drill and blast module in
Deswik.CAD.
Before you open the drill and blast module, you will design a title block and a winze long section.
A title block is for print layouts, to define information about the drawings, including:
l drawing title
17
l drawing number
location
20
l
l site
ep
l vendor
-S
Deswik.CAD has title blocks designed to fit standard paper sizes. The title blocks are in the
C:\ProgramData\Deswik\Titleblocks folder.
es
or
4.1. TITLE BLOCK TEMPLATE ol
This tutorial includes an A3 sized Deswik.CAD file as a template to design the title block.

Block text allows text displayed within the title block to be set from Plane Definitions. This simplifies the
process of updating the text in the Title Block. After you write the block file, you can only make permanent
changes to the block text in the source file. In other words, you cannot modify a block after you insert it
into a document. You must open the source file, modify the block drawing and re-save.
12 | Page
7. Repeat the process to create the following text.
Interactive Text Height Block Text Tag Corresponding Block Value
Configuration: 6 Configuration <<PlaneDefAttribute[][Configuration]>>
Total Drill Meter: 4 Drill meter <<PlaneDefAttribute[][Drill]>>
Total Charge Meter: 4 Charge meter <<PlaneDefAttribute[][Charge]>>
Ring Dump: 4 Dump angle <<PlaneDefAttribute[][Dump]>>

The design line for this exercise is the centerline of the working drive. It is not necessary to have the design line
inside of the development drive solid.

It is important to remember that the design line elevation is where the survey planes are cut. Draw the design
line at the same RL as the dump pivot point, on the drill rig for the stope. For example, draw the design line at
the floor of the drill drive, and then translate the line to the height of the drill rig pivot point.
