Import Events

The import event provides a framework that you can use to view and edit specific survey data that is referenced within the import event.

An import event is created each time you import data using either the Import Survey Data wizard, the import commands on the survey network context menu, or the import Survey LandXML command.

Import Events are displayed as a collection within a database on the ToolspaceSurvey tab. The default name for the import event is the same as the imported file name "<File name>.<ext>".

The Import Events collection contains the Networks, Figures, and Survey Points that are referenced from the specific import command, and provides a convenient way to remove, re-import, and reprocess linework, and insert survey data into the current drawing.

Tip

Commands entered in the Survey Command Window or from using the Run Batch File command do not create an import event. To maintain the integrity of existing networks, you should create a separate network when you use the Survey Command Window.

To edit an import event

  1. In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, expand a named survey database, and then expand the Import Events collection.
  2. In the Import Events Editor vista, select an import event, right-click Edit.

To delete an import event

  1. In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, expand a named survey database, and then expand the Import Events collection.
  2. Select an import event, right-click Delete.

To change the order of import events

  1. In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, expand a named survey database, and then expand the Import Events collection.
  2. Select the import event and drag it to a new location in the collection.
