• The alignment contains spirals or irregular lines.
• The alignment is referred to by a road.
Parcels
LandXML parcels will be imported as polylines. If a node of the parcel
does not refer to a valid point, a new point will be created at that
node. If a parcel contains spiral curves, they will be converted to line
segments.
Groups
Group names of LandXML points, alignments, and parcels are
treated like layers and the data in each group can be imported to a
layer with the same name. If a group name is an invalid layer name,

The only feature data that is imported from a LandXML file are TDS
feature attributes.
