Importing Points From A TXT File
You can import a set of survey points directly into the map from a TXT file. This is useful for bringing in GNSS measurements, control points, or any other coordinate data you’ve collected in the field.
File requirements
Section titled “File requirements”Before importing, make sure your TXT file meets the following requirements:
- Coordinate system – coordinates must be in the same coordinate system as the object you’re importing into
- Delimiter – values must be separated by a comma (,)
- Encoding – the file must be saved in UTF-8 encoding
- No header row – the file must not contain a header line
- Format – each row represents one point in the following format:
Point1,X,Y,Z Point2,X,Y,Z
Tip: If your file uses a different delimiter (such as a semicolon or tab), you’ll need to convert it before importing. Most spreadsheet applications like Excel or Google Sheets can help you do this.
