• Lithology descriptions can be offset upward as well as down for a more efficient use of space. They honor additional alignment and margin options

• Scalebar can now display true elevation labels and tick marks for deviated wells. Downhole survey data is read from a new "Orientation" tab. Scalebar survey data can be entered as dip from horizontal or from vertical. The labels at the top and bottom of the page can be adjusted up or down to avoid overplots.

• Display reference grids for curves and cross-plots on top of the column so that they aren't obscured by solid-fills

• A great new data tool will update an existing data file with necessary tabs for changes in the log design.
• New "Fit To Page" tool at compile time will automatically set the vertical scale to fill a single log page with all of your data.
• New option for display of patterns with no background fills, for draft logs (saves ink!).

• LAS Import now seamlessly reads UNIX files, and files with TABS. The LAS min/max's display can ignore or display null values, or replace null values with text. The LAS Importer also creates a text report with Field Name, Units, Min and Max values- helpful for creating a log design. Best of all, it also creates a rudimentary log design for that data set on the fly.
• Other miscellaneous data and design editing tools:
  • Paste from a single cell to many
  • Compute statistics for any column of data values
  • Change the Tab order in the Data Editor
  • Data column width is remembered
  • Improved snap when moving entities
  • A selection triangle can be used to select multiple entities in the same panel
• BMP and JPG export from LogView offers resolution options for high-quality exports. Added mouse wheel and arrow key support for scrolling log in the LogView window.
• The Data Editor and the Log Designer share the same window space, and are accessed with their stick-up tabs. You can have multiple data (DAT) files open at any one time.
• Button toolbars are draggable
• All Log Designer dialog boxes use an Apply button to apply changes while leaving the dialog box open for further modification.
