 Coordinate Order
: You must specify the output format for the ASCII file. There are seven different formats to
choose from. The last field is always the description. The fields can be space, comma or tab delimited, and you can
also separate the fields by a user-defined delimiter. Two of the options include quotes around the description field
so that your descriptions can include spaces and/or commas.
 Type of Delimiter
: You must specify the character used for delimiting the fields in the output ASCII file. You may
choose either a space, comma, tab or user-defined delimiter.
 Coords vs Other
: As shown in the graphic above, you can use one delimiter for the coordinates and another for
the "other" information such as notes and GIS attribute data. If, for example, you had notes that were types of trees
associated with the "TR" description, then the tree type could be appended to the code TR with a space, as in TR
OAK, and export as a single field. You can control whether or not you choose to export notes, point info and point
attributes.
 Range
: You must specify the range of points to output. Ranges can be separated with commas, as in
1-40,101-199,A1-A44.
 Export Notes
: When this option is enabled, any point notes associated with the current job will be exported to a
.NOT file. These files are used with SurvCADD.
 Export Point Info
: This exports any "known" information about the point, such as HRMS and VRMS values that
have been included automatically in the Note file.
 Export Attributes
: GIS attributes can be assigned to points that are stored based on settings in the Feature Code
List. If a point that is shot is a manhole (e.g. MH) and attributes such as concrete, 5 rungs, 2 inlets are entered for
this point, these attributes will be exported to an ASCII file for use by external programs when this option is
enabled.
 Precision
: You must specify the output precision for northings, eastings, and elevations. This setting does not
affect point IDs or descriptions. After choosing the settings in this dialog box, press OK. A standard file dialog will
appear. In this dialog; choose a name for your ASCII file and then press OK. After the file is written, a dialog will
appear to let you know that the process is finished.
 Export GPS Points Only/Add Before Desc
: Activates the option to export ETRS89 (X,Y,Z) but will also export
standard x,y,z.
 ETRS89(X,Y,Z)
: Exports x,y,z and Lat/Long values in a table of information, along with the point description.
