Creating a Target List of Anomalies

We have already described how to dynamically link maps to other maps, database lines and profiles (see Linking Maps and Data).  The shadow cursor and data linking tools can also be used when working in Oasis montaj or Target to select anomalies and create a list of targets in a database. 

 

You can build a list of targets or anomalies from database profiles.  Simply select the anomaly in the profile window and right-click to access the context menu.

 

 

"Select Target..." will create a new group in the database (groups are similar to lines).  The default name is "Targets".  This can be easily changed, allowing multiple anomaly lists to be created.  Other database channels can be included along with the picked target location. 

 

 

The option to immediately plot a symbol of the location on the map is available too.  This is useful when using the database and map together with the Shadow Cursor Data Linking Tool, allowing you to pick target locations while seeing which targets have already been selected.

 

Pick as many targets as you like by selecting lines and right clicking on the profiles. Then review the list in the database. 

 

 

Later on, you can subset the group to create a new database or create new symbol plots using the associated channels.
