Import *.TXT Coordinates

When importing a TXT file, you will first be prompted to select the

layer where you want the new data stored. Select a layer and tap

to continue.

Since the coordinates in an ASCII TXT file can

be stored in a variety of formats, two screens

are used to define the format of the file that is
being imported once a layer is selected. The

source TXT file can contain either plane

coordinates or geodetic coordinates.
Delimiters: is the character that separates

each column of text in the ASCII file.
Units: are the units that the distances in the
file were stored in.
Coordinates: is used to specify if the
coordinates are plane coordinates, geodetic coordinates in degrees-

minutes-seconds format, or geodetic coordinates in decimal format.

; Skip the first row

: should be checked if the first line in the ASCII

file contains non-coordinate information, such as a heading.

Next > : opens the second screen.
