Aegis Help 7
2016 iRing Inc.
Designer Issues
1. When an exception occurred it was possible to encounter another error indicating that there was insufficient permissions to save the project file. This was due to Aegis attempting to save a
file to the recovery folder. (Ticket 16394)

Designer Issues
1. If the user zoomed in too far the view port in the slot editor would get stuck. Limited it to a scale less than 1:500000. (Ticket 15630)
2. Timing module would throw an exception when editing a row in the timing grid where nothing could/should be done. (Ticket 15627)
-
Aegis Help 15
2016 iRing Inc.
3. In the timing module, some rings/ring sets/stopes that were part of a blast where not properly marked. (Ticket 15607)
4. IREDES export would crash if a ring contained an empty string for a name. 5. Turning off the fixed pivot points in the re-drill window had no effect when the re-drill was opened again. (Ticket 15645)
6. Currency symbol in some parts of Aegis was not using the proper symbol from regional settings.
7. When a hole was deleted the other holes would not be renamed. 8. If an exception occurred while creating new ringsets, the ring name would be set to an empty string. (Ticket 15644)
9. Reports - When pasting values in to the table editor, they would be duplicated. (Ticket 15670) 10. A key missing exception could occur when attempting to merge two wireframes. (Ticket
15680)
11. When loading a project, a duplicate key exception could be thrown. (Ticket 15706)
12. Some of the tables in the reports were not being drawn properly. The border was too large in
some cases. (Ticket 15726)
13. The display survey group of buttons was not active if manual surveyed holes were imported.
(Ticket 15750)
14. If an entire ring was surveyed, the un-lock option would be available when it shouldn't have
been. (Ticket 15751)
15. The 3D view in the manual survey hole import was not docked properly and would not
properly resize with the form. (Ticket 15757)
16. Ring View - Moving the holes by using the CTRL key didn't work in all cases. In these cases a
stope limit wasn't set and wasn't needed. (Ticket 15811)
17. Changing the ring tolerance in the adjacent rings display options did not update the ring view
until it was changed. (Ticket 15810)
18. The isosurface window had trouble displaying previously selected colors. Now the color is
properly remembered and displayed (Ticket 15805)
19. Moving the holes with the ctrl key held down wasn't responding. (Ticket15811)
20. More drilling parameters menu option in the hole layout table context menu didn't work.
(Ticket 15820)
21. When using fixed pivots in the Create New Ringsets window some rings in some projects
would not be generated even though using the Re-Drill Rings Window would work as expected.
(Ticket 15871)
22. Slot Editor - An exception would occur if a hole diameter was a very small number when
trying to create a new slot template. (Ticket 15877)
23. Slot - In some cases the slot would not be placed even though it should fit. This happened
because Aegis was not able to capture the correct pivots because the drill mast was hitting the
wall and the location of the reference line was too close to the wall. Now Aegis will draw the slot
with the missing holes. It will allow the planner to move the slot to a better position manually.
(Ticket 15891)
24. In the reports the wrong plan view could be displayed when there were multiple stopes in
the scenario. (Ticket 15899)
25. An out of range exception could be thrown when loading a project with some issues around
-
Aegis Help 16
2016 iRing Inc.
the scenarios. (Ticket 15910)
26. Adding a charge to a hole could cause an exception. This occurred because the explosive
wasn't set and they tried to manually add a charge to a hole. (Ticket 15912)
27. When editing a polyline it was possible to delete all but one coordinate. A valid polyline
should have at least to vertices. (Ticket 15912)
28. If there was a keyword in the ring naming convention it wouldn't be processed when new
rings were created.
29. The option to create a new ring set from the existing planes option should not be available if
there are no ring sets. (Ticket 15581)
30. When using the re-drill rings option, Re-Load Rings window or the Re-Prime Rings window,
deleted blasts were not restored. (Ticket 15932)
31. For some reason when attempting to place a reference line in 3D, the view would become
inverted. This only seemed to occur when the 3D display render option was set to high quality.
(Ticket 15762)
32. Append Rings did not update the list of classified wireframes if any of them were changed.
For example, if you unselected a void mesh, the append rings would still think it were there.
(Ticket 15449)
33. When a slot was placed it was not possible to change its length by using the CTRL key and
dragging its toe position. Now the slot behaves the same as other holes. (Ticket 15942)
34. The exported laser line offsets and the ring marker lines were not all on the same elevation,
it varied depending on the dump of the ring. Now the laser lines will be at the same elevation
and the ring marker lines will be at the same elevation. (Ticket 15983)
35. The incorrect state was being assigned when attempting to edit a slot resulting in odd
behavior at times.
36. Using the "Page Up" or "Page Down" keys while cycling through the rings in designer would
cause a problem if the active window was the plan view. This is corrected and you are now able
to use the keys with any Aegis window active.
37. Hitting cancel on the isosurface window before the process completed would cause the
window to become unresponsive.
38. Hitting the cancel button or the close window button on the isosurface window after the
isosurface was generated would cause a null reference exception.
39. In some cases using the Rename All holes in all rings menu could cause a null reference
exception. (Ticket 15993)
40. When using the Russian or Spanish localization of Aegis there could be issues with the license
system not properly activating the block model evaluation.
41. Reports - Ring View Item - The hole labels would be drawn outside the bounding rectangle.
(Ticket 16091)
42. Extrude mesh from vertical plane creates extra mesh created two meshes instead of one.
(Ticket 16098)
43. Corrected an issued that caused the hatching styles to generate an exception when choosing
one. (Ticket 16123)

4. When editing a polyline it was possible to delete all but one coordinate. A valid polyline should have at least to vertices. (Ticket 15912)
5. If there was a keyword in the ring naming convention it wouldn't be processed when new rings were created.
6. The option to create a new ring set from the existing planes option should not be available if there are no ring sets. (Ticket 15581)
7. When using the re-drill rings option, Re-Load Rings window or the Re-Prime Rings window, deleted blasts were not restored. (Ticket 15932)
8. For some reason when attempting to place a reference line in 3D, the view would become inverted. This only seemed to occur when the 3D display render option was set to high quality.
(Ticket 15762)
9. Append Rings did not update the list of classified wireframes if any of them were changed. For example, if you unselected a void mesh, the append rings would still think it were there. (Ticket

6. Slot Editor - An exception would occur if a hole diameter was a very small number when trying to create a new slot template. (Ticket 15877)
7. Slot - In some cases the slot would not be placed even though it should fit. This happened because Aegis was not able to capture the correct pivots because the drill mast was hitting the
wall and the location of the reference line was too close to the wall. Now Aegis will draw the slot
with the missing holes. It will allow the planner to move the slot to a better position manually.

Enhancements
1. Reports - Ring View Report Item - Added various survey hole properties. (Ticket 14861)
2. Report Editor - Added the ability to interleave report pages. When applying a template if you have a series of "stacked" pages representing various parts of the

page in the represents the front page and the second page represents the back side of
the same page it is not possible to print them in the correct order.
3. Block Model Legend - Once a block model legend was set there was no way to remove it from the list. Now a small 'x' button will appear beside it that can clear the
selection. (Ticket 14893)

window. (Ticket 15181)
35. When creating new ring sets using the create new ring set window sometimes the rings
would be created at very odd azimuths. It happened when the start azimuth was very close to
360 degrees and the ending azimuth was very close to 0 (17 degrees). This was an issue in the
way that the azimuth was calculated for the reference line segments. The azimuth is no calculate
based on the position of the starting point and the ending point. Now the rings will be placed
with the look direction facing the end point of the reference line. (Ticket 15188)
36. Exporting holes or ring markers to Surpac .str files was not working correctly, the x and y
coordinates were permuted. (Ticket 15209)

part of the view could be hidden. (Ticket 15393)
55. Reports - Closing a report template that is already saved with changes on it will prompt to
save the template. In this situation a duplicate report would be created in the gallery. (Ticket
15355)
56. If a project was recovered after it had been some how corrupted it may be possible to have
no drill set which would cause an exception in some areas. (Ticket 15407)
57. Plan View and Long Section View - The context menu item, re-drill rings was not working as
expected. (Ticket 15409)
58. Plan View - The compass option was not being drawn in the correct location when the option
"Left Center" or "Right Center" was chosen. The vertical center was not being calculated
correctly. (Ticket 15418)
59. Switching themes while light tables or adjacent rings were displayed caused the holes to
hide. (Ticket 15448)
60. Attempting to add a ring before another ring could sometimes cause the ring to be created
off the reference line. This would cause a crash that would require Aegis to be restarted. (Ticket

64. Setting a hole horizontally by the hole table sometimes would result in it changing to a
different pivot. (Ticket 15457)
65. Changing the classification of a wireframe didn't affect the ring generation process. (Ticket
15449)
66. Attempting to change a holes breakthrough status would change the charge collar if it were
manually set. (Ticket 15469)
67. Removing a void wireframe from the list of voids had no effect on ringsets/stopes that were
existing. Holes were added and assumed the wireframe was still part of the voids list. Now if a
wireframe is removed existing stopes will ignore it. (Ticket 15449)
68. In some cases it was not possible to manually add a charge to a hole because of the way the
loading algorithm determined the collar height. Now if a charge is manually added to the hole
Aegis will ensure that one is placed. (Ticket 15478)
69. In some cases when creating new ring sets/stopes ring generation would fail because the ring
generator was not properly set. (Ticket 15491)
70. When a report template was applied a null reference could occur because the ring set is was
not set properly. (Ticket 15498)
71. When an item was pasted into a report the scenario index wasn't properly set causing the
report to display the wrong information. (Ticket 15514)
72. When a ring set item was pasted into a report with a ring context the index wasn't being
properly set. (Ticket 15524)
73. The charge circles added to the charge when it is moved manually were taking the ring collar
and toe spacing as a default. They will now take the loading delta as a default. (Ticket 15526)
74. The manual override for collar and toe circles in the ring view would not persist any changes.
(Ticket 15528)

(Ticket 15540)
76. DXF files would not export properly if the locale used the comma as a decimal separator.
(Ticket 15541)
77. In the preview for renaming rings, setting the starting index didn't affect the preview. (Ticket
15548)
78. In some cases a ring would be generated with an hole that was in the list but not drawn. This
would cause the hole naming routine to fail. (Ticket 15535)
79. Exporting meshes to dxf would generate incorrect files. (Ticket 15541)
80. The create new ring set form stored the custom drill angle settings (star angle, end angle)
incorrectly.
81. When a blast was deleted from the project tree, the active blast in the main ribbon bar was
not updated. (Ticket 15592)
82. Reports would crash when any symbols relied on blast.scenario. (Ticket 15584)

4. Aegis can now design rings in adjacent stopes based on rings from existing stopes within the
same scenario. This allows a user to align rings to the same plane. It is accessed as a drop down
menu from the create new ring set button. (Ticket 14507)
5. When drilling holes and using a stope limit in some circumstances it is desirable to stop the
drilling process if the holes would be drilled outside the stope limit. This new feature will stop the
drilling process if any hole that is drilled has no intersection with the stope limit. If no stope limit is
specified, this option is ignored.

Aegis v0.15.029.1020 Release Date: 2015-10-20
Enhancements
1. DXF Import - Aegis can now import wireframes that are stored as block references. It can also deal with polygon mesh wireframes that are represented by separate polygon strips that are
adjacent to one another. Typically these would be generated by some cavity survey scans.
2. Slot holes - When the slot holes were not charged a gray outline was displayed instead of the holes in the ring view. Now they will be drawn and have the options to control the line style for
holes that are not on the ring plane. (Ticket 14282)
3. Reports - Added the Reference Line Coordinates Table which displays the coordinates of the

current reference line. (Ticket 1265)
4. Reports - Added the Length by Diameter Summary Table which summaries the total hole length by diameter for the active stope. (Ticket 14427)
5. Drill Rig Outline - The drill rig outline that is displayed in the plan view is now centered about the selected hole in the Ring View/ Hole Layout View. (Ticket 14428)
6. Added the ability to adjust drilling parameters on a hole by hole basis. This includes: setting the hole as breakthrough or not, changing the individual hole diameter, ignoring the contact or
extending the selected hole to breakthrough. (Ticket 14416)

Issues
Designer Issues
1. Reports - If an item was deleted from a report page and the item had extended options available in
the ribbon sometimes the options would remain visible. By remaining visible it allowed the user to
click on buttons with actions that were not valid and cause an error.
2. Reports - Ring View, Plan View and Long Section View - The initial scale of the item was not being
calculated correctly when the item is placed by initially dragging its size.
3. When an exception occurs in the middle of saving a project, the project will become corrupted.
A feature was added to attempt to recover as much of the project as possible automatically when
the file is opened again. (Ticket 13998)
4. When working with wireframes sometimes the wireframes are non-manifold (holes, internal
structures, self-intersections, etc.) and any calculated volumes or tonnage estimates could be
incorrect. Aegis will now display a warning indicating what the problem is and that the calculations
are suspect. NOTE: Internal structures may have no effect on volume calculations. (Ticket 13835)
5. The break cavity window would generate errors if there were no wireframes classified as voids
in the project. (Ticket 13898)
6. Deleting the break mesh from a blast did not remove the ore and host rock volumes. This lead to
incorrect values being displayed in the blast properties. (Ticket 14043)

7. The blast buttons on the main ribbon where not behaving as expected. (Ticket 14048)
8. In some cases the slot pattern wouldn't be drawn because one of the holes had an invalid pivot
point. Now a message will be displayed in the ring view indicating why the slot was not drawn.
(Ticket 14097)
9. Aegis had trouble placing holes where two void wireframes where overlapping due to a poor
union operation on the wireframes. Now Aegis will ignore a second void intersection if it is within a
certain tolerance (less them 1m). (Ticket 14098)

10. Re-Drilling with fixed pivots and then turning the fixed pivots option off would not affect how
the ring was drilled again. (Ticket 14099)
11. Resizing windows with the 3D CAD view such as the block model evaluation or the survey holes
windows, wasn't as smooth as it should be. (Ticket 14113)
12. When a blast node is selected in the project explorer the blast wireframe would highlight and
turn white. If you clicked another wireframe, the previous wireframe would remain highlighted in
some cases. Now if you hit the ESC key all wireframes will return to the unselected states.
13. The ring slicing plane was not in the correct position relative to the the ring location. It was
noticeable on rings at the very end of stope limit blocks. It would look like rings were not being
rendered correctly. (Ticket 14100)
14. If you zoomed in or out too far in the Ring View, Plan View or Long Section View Aegis would
lock up at some point and become unresponsive. (Ticket 14214)
15. The numeric input boxes throughout Aegis used for accepting numeric input would accept the
terms "Infinity" and "-Infinity" which clearly are not valid numbers that Aegis would be able to deal
with.
16. In the new project window, if you entered reserved characters (such as a colon : or \) in the
project name field would cause unexpected results. Now these characters are rejected and the
user is not able to enter them into the input fields.
17. The close and merge wireframe buttons had no way to cancel the operations once they were
started. Now, you can hit the ESC key or click on another button to end the operation. (Ticket

19. Reports - Adding a drill angle display report item caused a null reference exception when there
was no active ring set or stope.
20. If the user.settings file has become corrupted Aegis would crash on startup. Now Aegis will
catch the issue and clean up the file to prevent future problems. (Ticket 14250)
21. When using the block model evaluation it wasn't possible to delete the resulting wireframe
that was attached to the ring. (Ticket 14242)
22. When creating a new slot pattern, if you clicked the save button and then clicked the ok
button to exit the slot editor there would be duplicate templates in the drop down list. (Ticket
14305)
23. If Aegis was in the middle of displaying the ring section in the 3D view and you clicked on the
new project main menu item, the ring slice in the 3D view would still be visible. (Ticket 14312)
24. Using the view in 3D button on the Ring View/ Hole Layout View causes the 3D View to align
itself with the ring and display the ring slice in 3D. If you clicked on the New Project option under
the Aegis button the 3D view would remain in the ring section view. Now the operation will be
canceled. (Ticket 14312)
25. Extrude Stope Limit Window - The window had sliders to allow the user to move the rectangle
outline around. The sliders were inaccurate and have been replaced with numeric controls that
allow the user to enter numbers directly or to use the toggle to increment/decrement by one unit
at a time. NOTE: Once the input field is selected a mouse scroll wheel may be used to
increment/decrement the value faster. (Ticket 14335)
26. Rounding errors would occur in the process of converting metric values to imperial values
when the user was entering imperial data. Aegis would convert the input value from imperial to
metric. Some of the conversion were subject to rounding errors if the process was repeated a few
times for the same field. This resulted in incorrect values. Some of the conversion factors did not
have a high enough precision specified. Some small errors in some of the other conversion factors
were also detected. (Ticket 14336)
27. The grid in the block model evaluation did not allow the user to copy/paste results from it. Now
Results can be pasted into a spreadsheet.
28. An exception could occur in the reports when using symbol evaluations in some cases. (Ticket
14356)
29. An exception could occur on some unit text boxes if the rounding was not properly set.
30. When deleting ring meshes that were generated from the block model evaluation an
exception could occur. (Ticket 14373)
31. A drilling error could occur if the slot were moved into a position where it wasn't completely
drillable. (Ticket 14383)
32. The number of parent cells and child cells was incorrect in some cases after reading a .dm
based block model file.
33. When timing a blast a "no elements" exception could occur. (Ticket 14413)
34. In the hole table it was not possible to change the hole length. (Ticket 14415)
35. On the break cavity window the resolution was not stored and subsequently would be reset to
1m whenever the form was displayed. (Ticket 14450)
36. In the blasting reports, if a fragmentation graph was added to a page, the page's thumbnail
would not reflect this. (Ticket 13900)

39. Reports - Diameter Table - Placing a diameter table onto a report page where the ring had
diameters that the drill didn't support caused an exception. Now the table will show the diameter
length pair but will be unable to add the additional cost metrics. (Ticket 14426)
40. In some situations, aegis project files were being saved with additional "." in the file name.
41. Reports - The ctrl + scroll wheel movement wasn't controlling the zoom level of the page, you
had to use the slider to control the zoom level. (Ticket 14459)
42. Reports - Ring View Report Item - The Show Hole Collar Pivot Lines property was not working
for slot holes. (Ticket 14471)
43. Reports - Graph items would cause an exception if the location property had any negative
values. (Ticket 14453)
44. Reports - Graph items would cause odd behaviors when the items were too small to display the
graphs. (Ticket 14470)
45. Ring View - When values where changed in redrill or when creating a new ringset/stope, the
ring view would lose its center and return to a default position. (Ticket 14337)
46. In some cases when using the light table and clicking on the last ring in the stope an invalid
index exception could occur. (Ticket 14525)
47. The drill placement boundary was not being displayed correctly, the shape didn't reflect the
height of the drill. Related to this, in some cases the placement boundary would not extend far
enough to the left or right when there clear was space to do so. There was a tolerance issue when
calculating parallel line segments. (Ticket 14529)

1. Corrected the tab ordering on the windows in the Survey Import Section. 2. When drilling holes in some cases voids would be ignored. This was happening because a stope limit was defined without including an ore contact wireframe. (13936)
3. Added code to ensure that all dialogs were properly closed and removed from memory. 4. When editing a slot template if no changes were made and the user clicked the ok button, the slot template would be removed from the list of available templates. (13983)
5. Attempting to position the drill zone manually was not working as expected. (13987) 6. There was no context menu associated with the fixed pivot grid in the database. (13980) 7. Attempting to save the project in a folder that the user doesn't have access too resulted in an exception. Now the user will be warned and they will have the opportunity to save to a different
location. (14002)
8. In some situations it was not possible to place a slot on a ring. This was caused by a tolerance issue. The tolerance value has been relaxed somewhat. (14003)
9. Report Editor - If you deleted the ring view from the page, the pan button would remain active. If the user clicked this button and Index out of range exception would occur. (14008)
10. Report Editor - If you deleted the ring view from the page, the set automatic scale and
drawing scale slider would cause the same exception as the pan button. (14008)
11. If a stope limit has been defined, you would receive an exception stating that the ring plane
doesn't intersect the drilling volume if you attempted to place a ring outside the stope limit. This
restriction has been removed to allow the user to place services holes. (14021)
12. If a ring was drilled with fixed pivots, turning them off in the re-drill window would have no
effect. (14022)
13. If an item is deleted from a report editor page, the ribbon bar would not be notified and
buttons or panels could be left active when the are not supposed to be.

Pivot Interval line was not being drawn in the ring view. 4. The offset line was not working as expected. 5. Re-Prime - When multiple rings were selected it was supposed to make the text entry fields empty of all of the rings did not have the same value for that field.
6. Stope Table - When using metric, the diameter unit was displayed as "m" instead of "mm". (Ticket 13793)
7. Reports - When a table as added to the report page, the borders around it were correct. After saving and loading the report template the borders would be larger. (Ticket 13493)
8. Ring Summary Table - The drilling cost column was actually displaying the total cost value instead.
9. In some cases the IREDES export option failed to operate correctly. 10. Updated the hole sorting algorithm so that when the holes are labeled, but default they will
be labeled left to right for both up holes and down holes.
11. When creating a new ring set or using the Re-Load window, selecting an explosive from the
drop down wouldn't work the first time. (Ticket 13817)
12. If a drill was using fixed pivots and the ring was regenerated using the Re-Drill window, the
fixed pivots would not be assigned correctly to the ring generation algorithm.
13. In the ring view, the charges were not being scaled correctly when the zoom was being
adjusted. This yielded a check board pattern on the charges.

2. When importing wireframes from DXF files the color information (if available) is extracted and
applied to the wireframes on import.
3. Reports - Symbols - Added new symbol for the slot. The symbol is slotlengthdrilled which
represents the total length of holes drilled within the slot pattern. This can be used in conjunction
with the formula evaluation to obtain total length drilled for all the holes on a ring. (Ticket 13726)
4. Reports -Ring Table - The custom formula column was not being totalized when the "Show

1. IREDES - Duplicate tags were being created in the xml file during the export process. This confused
some drills.
2. Attempting to delete a large number of wireframes or polylines from the project explorer would
result in the user being prompted to delete each and every wireframe.
3. Aegis would not install on computers that were set to languages other than english. This is
corrected and the correct permissions and groups are properly assigned to the installation folder.
4. The line representing the pivoting region in the ring view was not being drawn.
5. Ring view - When right-clicking on the ring view, the context menu presented the option
"Delete". This option would delete the entire ring from the project. It has been updated so that it
now will read "Delete all Holes" and it will delete all of the holes on the ring instead of the entire
ring.
6. In some cases an exception would occur when applying a report template to a project. Code was
added to make sure that the data structures were valid before attempting to use them. (Ticket
13488)
7. When importing wireframes from the DXF format Aegis attempts to automatically join
wireframes together based on common edges. In the process it would rename the mesh to less

useful names. Now the wireframes will retain the file name and any layer name that may be
attached to the wireframes.
8. Drift Approximation - When no wireframes have been classified as voids an error message is
displayed that is very ambiguous as to what the cause of the problem is. The error message will
now indicate that there are no voids. (Ticket 13709)
9. Reports - Slot View - The hole labels, delay labels and the sequence labels were not being drawn
correctly. (Ticket 13732)
10. Some items in the DBAdmin would trigger a "Save Changes" dialog to appear even if no
changes were made. (Ticket 13737)
11. In some cases dialog boxes prompting or warning the user about specific conditions would get
stuck behind other windows rendering Aegis unusable. (Ticket 13738)
12. When an exception occurs a dialog is presented to the user to send the information to the
developers so that the exception can be rectified. During that process the user is prompted if they
would like to save a copy of the project. This prompt has been eliminated and the backup project
is automatically created.
13. Reports -Ring Table - when using the pivot offset columns in the table, it was possible to move
the ring in such a way that the reference line would not intersect the ring plane anymore. This
would result in no values for those columns. Now Aegis will attempt to extend either end of the
reference line in an attempt to look for an intersection. It will take the first and last segment and
extend these in the respective line segment directions.
14. Import Polylines/Lines - When importing the lines/polylines from DXF files, the file name wasn't
assigned to the imported entities. Now the entities will be named after the file that contained it
and it will also contain the layer name if that information is available.
