Open Seismic

To open the Seismic window, you need to select seismic in the Map window. You can select a line directly from the map, or from a list.

Select a line from the map

Follow these steps:

Select one of the following options from the Map Selection toolbar. You can select to pick from only 2D lines, in-lines, cross-lines, or well synthetics. View image

Icon	Hot-key	Description
	<l>	Select Any Line
	<2>	Select a 2D Line
	<i> + <x>	Select a 3D In-line or Xline
	<w>	Select a Well-spot or Well Synthetic
none	<L>	On the Map Menu bar, choose Select \| From List to open the Select From List dialog box, where you can choose which seismic to view.

Move your cursor over the Map window. WinPICS highlights the line(s) closest to your cursor and displays the UTMUniversal Transverse Mercator coordinates and the nearest shotpoint (for 2D lines), in the Status bar in lower left-hand corner of the window. If your cursor is over more than one line, it changes to an Object Overlay icon.
Before selecting the line, consider whether you want to display the seismic line in an existing window or in a new window. Displaying the seismic line in an existing window enables you to keep all parameter settings made to that window, while displaying the seismic line in a new window returns you to the default seismic parameter settings.

To display the seismic line in an existing window, left-click the line and, without lifting the mouse button, drag it into the Seismic window. Release the mouse button.

To display the seismic line in a new window, left-click the line. A new window will open.

If your mouse is over more than one line, left-click, and then select one of the lines from the lines listed in the pop-up list.

It is easier to select your seismic if you turn off some of the map elements in Edit Map Draw Order such as 3D Area Outline or 2D Line.

Select a line from a list of all lines

Follow these steps:

On the Map menu or Seismic menu, select Select | 2D/3D Line From List list to open the Select Seismic From List dialog box. View image

Select a line from the list.
Click <OK>. The line you selected will appear highlighted in the Map view.
