Import CSV

Clicking on this item on the Takeoff Menu displays the Import CSV dialog. The item is only enabled when taking off Existing Point Elevations.

First select the file to be imported. The memo displays the first few lines of the file. If the first line contains column captions, check "First line is captions."

Below the memo, select the field order using the combo boxes on the right. Normally, the only change required is if the Northing and Easting columns are reversed. Based on the information in the memo, select the correct field and decimal delimiters.

When the selections are complete, press OK to import the file. Press Cancel to abort the process.

Prior to importing, Reference Point 1 must be defined. This point defines the GPS Northing and Easting of a point on the drawing. Additionally, Reference Point 2 or the North/South line must be defined. This allows scaling and rotation of the GPS coordinates in the import file to the drawing coordinates.
