To Run a Survey Batch File

Use the Run command to load the batch file into the current project.

Running a batch file updates your drawing with any points and line work specified in the file (if the Insert settings are enabled). For information, see To Specify Survey Import Defaults.

The Run - Slow Motion command loads the batch file at a slower rate. You can watch each command entry as it is added to and displayed in your drawing.

Use the Run - Walk Through command to stop the action at every file line as it is read into the drawing. This command is very helpful when you are looking for problems in the data.
