This wizard guides you through the six steps required to export the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exporting AGS Project Information<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is to specify any additional project information to be exported. After the information has been entered, the Next button can be used to go to the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"676\" height=\"529\" src=\"https:\/\/gaeatech.com\/knowledge-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaeatech.com\/knowledge-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-7.png 676w, https:\/\/gaeatech.com\/knowledge-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-7-300x235.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To make this process easier if you are exporting to AGS files a lot, you can create and use script files to for the export settings. To create a new script file with the export settings click on the Save Script button and enter a file name for the script. The script file should only be saved after all of the export settings have been entered. To open and use an existing script file, click on the Use Script button and select the file. An existing script file should be opened prior to entering any export settings. Script files should have the extension &#8220;.scp&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exporting AGS Location Information<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This step is used to specify the location (borehole\/well) information to export. The table shown below can be used to specify what header text from the boring\/well log is used for each heading to be exported. To change the header text to be used click on it and select it from the combobox. For AGS version 4 data the dataset group is called &#8220;LOCA&#8221; and for version 3 it is called &#8220;HOLE&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"676\" height=\"529\" src=\"https:\/\/gaeatech.com\/knowledge-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-8.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaeatech.com\/knowledge-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-8.png 676w, https:\/\/gaeatech.com\/knowledge-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-8-300x235.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exporting AGS Geological Information<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This step is used to specify the lithology information to be exported.
