You can bring in survey point data in a variety of ASCII formats. ASCII survey
point data can be brought in to any node in the survey tree.

data in your source files using the following convention:
■ P is point ID
■ E is Easting, or longitudinal values
■ N is Northing or latitudinal values
■ Z is elevation values
■ D is description
Make sure that you select the correct format plus delimiter type (comma or
space) for your data source.
