Exporting a Drill Plan to Drill or GPS Rover

Once you have designed your drill pattern, you can export it for direct upload to a smart drill, GPS rover or other software package.

First navigate to the Export/Report tab in the Drilling Design module.

In the Export Drill Pattern section, make sure you have selected the right coordinate system for your equipment.
