Coordinates file description

Coordinates file is text file (ASCII).

Default extension when installing is .COO and can be changed by user with command TopoCfg section Files.

Text file must contain in order point’s name (point’s number), coordinates N and E or E and N, point’s elevation and point’s code (description). It is not necessary elevation or point’s code existence.

Separating character can be space character (or many), comma character, dot character, semicolon character etc.

Lines’ structure of a coordinates’ file can be as following:

STN1 333316.888 588800.077 85.173 STN

STN2 333208.251 588666.306 84.359 STN (simple code)

100 332828.677 588555.078 85.475 11-22 (composed codes)

101 332827.360 588560.255 84.862 33

102,332824.788 , 588562.873, 84.988 11-22-33

103;332823.833;588559.769;CC-GB

104*332830.533*588565.673*11 (11 is code not elevation)

105 332827.088 588569.173 84.548

107 332830.333 588569.230

Points’ codes can be simple or composed (more codes for the same point). Character that separates a composed code can minus (-), plus (+) or space character. It is recommended to use minus character (-).

Points’ elevations are being considered only if they contain decimal character (.). If elevations do not contain this character, they are considered as being codes.

Coordinates’ file that is redone from CAD drawing with command RefCoo will have only one separating character namely spaces.

To import or export coordinates file user can define any coordinates file format using command TopoCfg section Instruments. To import use command RapPct and to export use command TxCoo.
