(1) Easting
(2) Bench ID
(3) Material type
(4) Northing
(5) Terminators A DIG file must follow the exact structure that is shown in Illustration 1.There should be at least one space between the "Easting" values and the "Northing" values.The last "Easting" value and "Northing" value listed for the polygon must be the same as the first value. The first and last values are the same to ensure that the polygon can be closed. If the "Easting" values and "Northing" values are not in order around a polygon, then the conversion will not work.Each polygon must be terminated by a zero in both the "Easting" field and the "Northing" field.Setting Up Color Mappings
DIG files require some setup steps before the file can be converted. Color mappings are set up using the Terrain (Grading and Loading) menu on the "Manage Site Settings" dialog, accessed from the "Control Center".Setting Up The Colorfile.txt File
Perform the following procedure:
In the "Control Center", click "Manage Site Settings".
Click "Terrain (Grading and Loading)".
For each material type that will be used, select a dxf color, a physical color, and a name. Click "OK" to save these selections.
A valid VBMcolorfile.txt must be placed in the drive that contains the /.../file_repository/machine/site file. Even though the file is a dig file, the color file must be named VBMcolorfile.txt. This file matches the material type from the mine site software to a dxf color that is configured when setting up the site settings. Note: A VBM color file must contain information for each material type that is listed in the design file.

Typical DIG color file
(6) Material type
(7) DXF color The material type and the color field must be at least a two character alphanumeric descriptor and a one character alphanumeric color value.The last character in the material type will be used in the color file. DIG files have the capability of having text displayed from a converted file. The material type will be displayed for the polygon.Note: Conversion of DIG and TSS files will only work if the color files have mappings for all the required types.Converting the DIG File
A DIG file allows a user to associate DXF colors to material types. The user can view the contents of a DIG file by opening the text file in "File Manager".Perform the following procedure:
Open the DIG file in notepad and print a copy.
Open the VBMcolorfile.txt from the site folder and print a copy.
Verify that all material types in the DIG design file are matched up with a color in VBMcolorfile.txt. If a material type from the design is not in VBMcolorfile.txt, ask the mine site representative to determine the color for the material type.
In the "Control Center", click "Manage and Transfer Files", or click the "File Manager" menu if "File Manager" is open.
Navigate to, and expand, the DIG folder.
Right-click on the DIG file to be converted.
Click "Convert" on the menu. The "File Conversion" dialog displays. Note: Alternatively, click the "Convert File" button on the toolbar. If the file is not of a type that
