NAME

bcad - BSU program uses header values to generate a *.dxf file for microstation or autocad

SYNOPSIS

bcad [ -h | infile | isw1 | ilabel | txtsiz ]

DESCRIPTION

Basic Seismic Utilities (BSU) extracts shot and geophone locations from headers. Shot and geophone locations are written out to a *.dxf (digital exchange format) file suitable to be input into microstation or autocad. As CAD programs evolve, default settings might not be optimal. Users may need to change line width or orther parameters. Fortran 77.

Options

-h

Online help giving details on command line arguments

infile

Input file name

0=suppress limits header in *.dxf file.

Must be a floating point number (ex. 2.0)

NOTE:
If invoked with no options, will prompt user for input parameters.

EXAMPLE:

The header values for shots and receivers are converted to a *.dxf format, no limits header. Print labels for each point, 2.0 units in size.
