Import *.CR5 Coordinates
The Import CR5 screen will open when importing coordinates from a *.CR5 coordinate file after selecting a layer.
Simply select the distance units that the coordinates were stored in and tap
.
Import *.TXT Coordinates
Since the coordinates in an ASCII *.TXT file can be stored in a variety of formats, two screens are used to define the
format of the file that is being imported once a layer is selected. The source *.TXT file can contain either plane
coordinates or geodetic coordinates.
Delimiters: is the character that separates each column of text in the ASCII file.
Units: are the units that the distances in the file were stored in.
Coordinates: is used to specify if the coordinates are plane coordinates, geodetic coordinates in degrees-minutes-
seconds format, or geodetic coordinates in decimal format.
Skip the first row: should be checked if the first line in the ASCII file contains non-coordinate information, such as a
heading.
[Next >]: opens the second screen .
Import *.TXT Coordinates – Screen Two
[> Name Column No.] / [> Start Point Name]: When the first option is selected here, the column number used for
the name field in the *.TXT file is specified here. When the second option is selected, it is assumed that the *.TXT file
does not contain point names and will assign the first point the name specified here and increment to the next available
point name for the remaining points.
Columns: is where the column number for each specified coordinate exists in the source *.TXT file. The coordinates
types displayed here can either be for plane coordinates or geodetic coordinates depending on the selections made in
the previous screen. If a coordinate has a checkbox, which is unchecked, it is assumed that the source *.TXT file does
not contain columns for that type of coordinate.
