have to use the Adjust with Projection wizard in some manner to

rectify the geodetic to plane coordinates.

Import .GPS File

You can use the Import screen and set the Type to GPS File to merge
geodetic coordinates from a .GPS file generated using Survey Pro

DOS.
1. Open the job with the project’s plane coordinates. You can open

the *.CR5 file directly and it will be converted into a .job file or

you can open a new .job file and import the CR5 coordinates.

2. Go to Job > Import. For file Type, select, (*.GPS) and pick the

*.GPS file associated with the plane coordinates.

3. Specify the units of the *.GPS file (for the heights) and tap OK.

4. The GPS coordinates and control point flags for each point in the

*.GPS file will be merged with the plane coordinates for the

corresponding points.

5. If you have more than one *.GPS file associated with a set of

coordinates, you can import them one at a time. The coordinates

from each .GPS file will be assigned a unique set up group so you
can use them for different localization solutions.

Note: If duplicate points are found, you will be prompted to
overwrite or rename. If you choose to rename, a new point is created
with the original plane coordinate and the new geodetic coordinate.
