How to Edit Plan or Section in GEOVIA

Minex without Changing Data
November 14, 2017
By Ajay Reddy (http://blogs.3ds.com/geovia/author/ajayreddy/)

Today’s tip will be about editing a plan or section in GEOVIA Minex without making any changes to your
data.Using the Picture Edit toolbar function, you can edit visual graphical properties of all parts of a
Minex plan or section.

These tools will only modify the visual display of lines, text, and areas in 2D plan and section graphics.
Any editing will not modify the underlying Minex data. After you have made the changes, you can save
the display as DXF or DWG. Picture edit tools are in a single tool bar as shown below.
