How can I import a csv file in Carlson Survey Standalone 2008? My GPS pp software exports a csv file and I did not see that format listed in the Import Text/ASCII File command. Here is the format of the file. The csv file opens in excel.

(the dash is no Z value)


Thanks,

I import csv files all the time from Topcon Tools. I use the user defined option, and select the file. It works the same way with editing the file, no problems here. You should be able to simply select the file and import it. I'm not sure how it will handle the "-", though.

Use import text ascii, select user defined, press select tect ascii(1), then it will allow the selection of a CSV.

Forgot, make sure and Change the coordinate order to match your file, in the preview you should be able to see it.

Thanks
