Notes
You can import a file containing survey information as long as the survey information is

formatted correctly.

• The file must start with Begin Survey and end with End.
• The second line must be a coordinate.
• The remainder of the file can be made up of lines or arcs. A line is defined by

direction and length.

• A curve is defined by the word curve, followed by a letter representing the side of

the arc to put the radius. This is followed by the length of the radius and the length

of the arc. The arc is completed with a bearing from the start to finish point.

• For more information, see Sample Survey File.
