E-mailing Project Files
You can send Eclipse SST project files via e-mail. E-mailed files can be opened on any computer that has
the same version of the Eclipse SST software as used on the originating computer.
The Eclipse SST program generates five files for each run: the standard SST file (*.std) and four other
files related to the plots. For example, for the project file named “Projectname.std”, there will be two *.chd
files (“Projectname PlanView.chd” and “Projectname Profile.chd”) and two *.txt (“Projectname
PlanView.txt” and “Projectname Profile.txt”).
NOTE: All five project files (the *.std, *.chd, and *.txt files) must be e-mailed and saved to
the same folder on the receiving computer so that the data will display correctly.
To e-mail files for a project, select the five project files as attachments in your e-mailing application, and
then send the e-mail. The default location of the Eclipse SST program data is C:\Program Files\Digital
Control Incorporated\Steering Tool\Drill Data. You can see the different file types under the Drill Data
folder by setting the drop-down selection at the bottom of the open dialog box to “All Files (*.*)”, as shown
below. Note that the five files that comprise the data for the SST project named “Demo V2.6” are listed in
this dialog box.

NOTE: If you have made a PDF file of the project data, then you can select the PDF file for
e-mailing.
