Coordinates from a variety of file types can be imported into the
current job. The first Import
screen is used to select from the file
types listed below. The next screen that opens depends on the
selection made here.
• Job Files (*.JOB): import coordinates from another
Job file.
• Coordinate Files (*.CR5): import coordinates from
a TDS CR5 coordinate file.
• GPS Files (*.GPS): import coordinates from a TDS
GPS coordinate file.
• Text Files (*.TXT): text files can contain coordinates
in several different possible formats. The Import
ASCII Wizard is used to define the format of the text
file being imported.
• Text Files (*.CSV): this is a simplified text file
import routine where the source file is comma
delimited and has a *.CSV extension.
• LandXML Files (*.xml): imports points, alignments, polylines,
and parcels from a LandXML file.
Import *.JOB Coordinates
When importing coordinates from another *.JOB file, the Import
screen is used, described above.
A list of all the jobs available in the current directory is displayed.
Simply tap on the job name that you want to import and then tap
the
button. The points in the selected job will be added to the
points in the current job.
