Import *.GPS Coordinates

The Import CR5 dialog box will open when
importing coordinates from a TDS GPS coordinate
file. Simply select the distance units that the
coordinates were stored in and tap

2..

When importing coordinates from both a TDS CR5
and GPS file from the same job, the GPS coordinate
will be linked to the coordinates in the CR5 file. For
more information on this, refer to the GPS User’s
Guide.

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. 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.

1H[W ! : opens the second screen.
