How to expand string by specified width in Micromine

Micromine has a complete string editing tools which has different functions. Here I want to show you how to expand a string by specified width in Micromine. I am using Micromine 13 on this tutorial but this features already exist on any previous version of Micromine.

OK I want to change this string

expand-string

 

And this is our final edit

expand-string-final

To expand string, we use Expand string tool which can be accessed through Strings | Tools | Expand String.

expand-string-1

You can specify the width of the expansion for example if you put 20, it will expand the string 20 meter to the outside and put it -20 and it will expand to the inside. I think mine pit designer uses this features to create bench and pit design.

You can also watch the video tutorial on how to create a string expand on Micromine on YouTube below:
