Transfer Points Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to specify options before you transfer points from a source point data file (either text or .mdb) to a destination point data file (either text or .mdb).

Source

Format

Specifies the format describing how the point data is arranged in the source file.

Source

Specifies the name of the point data file from which the point data is read. Enter a file name, including the full path name.

File Selector

Opens the Select Source File dialog box. Browse to the folder where the source point data file is located. Select the file name, and click Open.

Destination

Format

Specifies the format describing how the point data will be arranged in the destination file.

Destination

Specifies the name of the file to which the point data is written. Enter a file name, including the full path name.

File Selector

Opens the Select Destination File dialog box. Browse to the folder where the point data file will be located. Enter a file name, and click Save.

Advanced Options

Do Elevation Adjustment If Possible

Specifies that elevation adjustments are performed during import. The format must contain Z+, Z-, or Thickness columns. For more information, see To Adjust Point Elevation During Import and Transfer.

Do Coordinate Transformation If Possible

Specifies that coordinate transformations should occur during transfer. Both source and destination point file formats must have coordinate zones assigned to them. The point data in the source file is transformed during transfer to match the zone specified in the destination file point file format.

Do Coordinate Data Expansion If Possible

Specifies that missing coordinate data properties of the points in the source file, such as degrees, minutes, seconds, and hemisphere for latitude and longitude, should be calculated, if possible, and transferred to the destination file. These values are calculated from known coordinate data information such as grid northing and grid easting in the source file.
