How to print MIDAS plots after you have already uploaded them to the database.
When you upload your completed plots to the MIDAS database, they are removed from the Work folder
on your laptop and copied into the DbLoadedData folder. When you choose to Print Field Plots, you will
need to select a different folder source to print from.
Double click on the Midas Control Panel icon on your desktop.
Click on the Print Field
Plots utility.
In the upper left hand corner of the Print Plots screen, there is a box
labeled Select Folder Source. Click on the button labeled Other in this box.
Then click on the white Browse button below it. This will bring up
the Select Folder screen.

Then double-click on your State folder.
At this
point, you need to know the Cycle and Subcycle of the plots you want to print. These numbers are part
of your plot’s file name. After the County and Plot numbers in the plot file name is the Cycle and then
Subcycle number. For example, file name UT.049.00149.02.10.P2.400.STDT1 is Utah, County 49, Plot
149, Cycle 02 and Subcycle 10. After double-clicking on your State, double-click on the Cycle folder you
want then double-click on the Subcycle you want. Now you should have County folders displayed to
choose from. Instead of double-clicking on the County you want, highlight it with a single click and then
click on the Select button.
