IESX 10.2  How to copy fault traces from one horizon to another using Export/Import.

Description:
You may use DataManager > Interpretation > Import and Export to copy fault
traces from one horizon to another.

There are two methods of copying fault traces from one horizon to another.  The
first and easiest method is the one discussed here--that is, to use DataManager
and export fault traces to an ASCII file and then import them.  The second
method is to use Mapview, see "How to copy fault traces from one horizon to
another using MapView" under MapView.

Solution:
Procedure to copy fault traces from one horizon to another:

1.) Export the fault traces using Data Manager > Interpretation > Export.

2.) Choose an export format (either ftr.ifdf for feet or ftrm.ifdf for meters.)
 
3.) Select the horizon and the faults which are to be exported.
 
4.) Enter a file name, or full path and file name.
    If only file name is entered then it will be written to user's home 
    directory.

5.) Import the fault traces using DataManager > Interpretation > Import.
 
6.) Select the same format which was used to export the fault traces.
 
7.) Enter the full path and file name of the file containing the exported fault
    traces.
 
8.) Click on 'View' to see if the file can be read and looks like the correct
    file. 

9.) Selection of the override input button will make all the columns below
    available. For fault trace copy, select the horizon you want to import 
    the fault trace to. This will ignore the horizon name that is in the 
    export file.

10.) Click on Import.

View the results on Basemap by posting the fault traces for the new horizon.
