Import / Re-import Point File Dialog Box

Import points into the survey database and survey network, as control points or non-control points, and specify options for linework processing.

Point File Format

Displays the point file formats contained in the current drawing. The point file format determines the column order, delimiter, and coordinate zone for the file you are importing.

Note: In linework processing, the point file format must have a Raw Description column.

Point File Name

Displays the file path of the point file you want to import.

Point Type

Specifies the imported points as either control points or non-control points in the network.

Current Figure Prefix Database

Specifies the name of the prefix database. Select a database from the list.

Process Linework During Import

Specify Yes to process linework during the file import.

Current Linework Code Set

Specifies the linework code set that is used in the linework processing.

Process Linework Sequence

Specifies the order in which survey point descriptions are processed to determine linework connectivity. Select one of the following:

• By Import Order - processes points in the order in which they are imported. Point names are always processed by import order.
• By Point Number - processes points sequentially, by point number (ascending order only).

Import Event Name

Specifies the name of the import event that is created by the import command.

Import Event Description

Optionally, specify a description for the import event.

Assign Offset To Point Identifiers

Specifies that an offset is applied to point identifiers before the points are imported into the survey database.

Point Identifier Offset

Specifies the offset value that is applied to the point identifier. For example, if the offset value is 1000, point number 101 is renumbered to 1101, or point name KC101 is renamed as KC101.1000.

Insert Network Object

Specifies that the network object is inserted into the drawing when the import process is complete.

Insert Figure Objects

Specifies that the figure object is inserted into the drawing when the import process is complete.

Insert Survey Points

Specifies that the survey points are inserted into the drawing when the import process is complete.
