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 Adjusting Elevation During Import and Export.

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.
