To Import Point Files that Contain User-defined Properties

In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, right-click the survey database collection New Local Survey Database.
Enter a name and click OK.
Right-click the new database Manage Extended Properties.
Tip: Importing the LandXML Property definitions before you create new user-defined properties can save time because the LandXML property definitions may match the requirements for the additional properties.
Define properties for the Survey Points. Expand the Survey Point node, right click User-DefinedNew.
When you have completed creating the Survey Point user-defined attributes, in the Manage Extended Properties dialog box right-click Survey PointsInsert Into Drawing.
In Toolspace, on the Settings tab, expand the Points collection and create a new Point File Format that uses the new attributes you created in step 3. When you set the column name in the Point File format, verify that the user-defined properties you created are prefaced with “Point.”.
Note: When you have completed creating the user-defined properties and the new point file format, save the drawing as a new drawing template. You can use this template when you want to import points into the survey database using the customized point file format.
Import a point file using the Import Survey Data wizard or the Import Points command.
