When the first option is selected here, the
column number used for the name field in the
*.TXT file is specified here. When the second
option is selected, it is assumed that the *.TXT
file does not contain point names and will assign
the first point the name specified here and
increment to the next available point name for
the remaining points.
Columns : is where the column number for each
specified coordinate exists in the source *.TXT
file. The coordinates types displayed here can either be for plane
coordinates or geodetic coordinates depending on the selections made
in the previous screen. If a coordinate has a checkbox, which is
unchecked, it is assumed that the source *.TXT file does not contain
columns for that type of coordinate.
;
Specify Missing Elevation Threshold : if the source file was created
from coordinates with no elevations, but the file contains an elevation
column with values, such as 0, check this box and indicate the value
in the field that will appear to the right.

point data that will be imported. This is useful to check for errors
before actually importing new data.

Confirm Point Replace Dialog Box
If a point being imported has the same name and the same
coordinates as a point that is already in the current job, it is ignored
and a message will be displayed after the remaining points are
imported to indicate this.
