Name Column No. / Start Point Name

.

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.

Preview : opens the ASCII Import Preview window containing all the

point data that will be imported. This is useful to check for errors

before actually importing new data.

< Back : returns to the previous screen.

Finish : imports the new point data into the current project.
