How to generate borehole log and CPT reports in GeoDin and export them as PDF for use with ArcGIS

This workflow covers generating borehole log and CPT reports in GeoDin and exporting them as PDF files. The exported PDFs can then be attached to ArcGIS feature classes (see Attach Reports).

Step 1: Select a borehole

Open GeoDin and select the borehole you want to generate a report for. Navigate to the Graphic Printing and Editing method.

Step 2: Choose a report template

Review the available templates for borehole reports. GeoDin ships with pre-built templates organized by object type. Select the template that matches your reporting needs.

For more on templates, see Report Templates.

Step 3: Generate the borehole report

The report is generated automatically based on the selected template and the borehole's data (layer descriptions, fill patterns, measurements, etc.).

Step 4: Generate CPT reports (if applicable)

If the borehole includes Cone Penetration Test (CPT) data, select the relevant CPT data and choose the appropriate CPT template. The CPT report is generated from the data sequence measurements.
