Data Import from Leica FlexLine

Description

Import data from Leica equipment that uses the Leica FlexLine Land XML format.

Access

Home / Data / Import / Leica FlexLine

Requirements

Xchange Leica Survey module

Options

The following properties allow control of the import.

General	Description
Import Measurements	Select to import raw total station measurements.
Process Codes	Select if codes should be processed to create lines and polygons.
String Number Attribute	Type the name of the attribute that contains the string number to be used when codes are processed.
Measurement Date Attribute	Type a name for the attribute that will hold the measured date and time for imported points.
Transformation	Description
Apply Transformation	Do one of the following: Select Yes (Scaled) to compute a scaled transformation using points with the same name and apply it to all points in the imported file. Select Yes (Unscaled) to compute an unscaled transformation using points with the same name and apply it to all points in the imported file. Select No to import the points in the file without a transformation. Note: A 2D Conformal with Height transformation is computed if at least one matched point pair has known heights. A 2D Conformal transformation is computed if all matched point pairs have at least one unknown height.
Save Transformation	Select the checkbox to save the computed transformation to the project.
Points	Description
Name Format	Add a prefix or suffix to rename points imported from the file. Note: {0} represents the current point name. Type a character before {0} to add a prefix. Type a character after {0} to add a suffix.
Name Offset	Add a numeric offset to the numeric component of the names of imported points.
Adopt Existing	Do one of the following to manage points with the same name: Select the checkbox to adopt a point in the project in preference to importing a point from the file when points with the same name are encountered. Clear the checkbox to import all points from the file. Points with the same name may be created in the project.
Lookup Tables	Description
Layer	Select the Layer lookup table to be used during the import.
Attribute Definition	Select the Attribute Definition lookup table to be used during the import.

A blank selection for a lookup table indicates that no lookup will be performed.

Notes

When importing a FlexLine LandXML file, point objects and their associated attributes are imported.
Attributes with the name specified in String Number Attribute are not imported but are used during code processing.
If a line created by code processing is intended to be a breakline, prior to import, in the layers General tab, set Breakline to Yes.
If codes are processed on import, point codes with string attributes are joined regardless of the layers Intended Use.
If codes are processed on import, consecutive points with the same code are joined when the layers Intended Use is set to Lines or Polygons
When line objects are created using feature code processing, the line inherits the attributes of the first point in the line.
A string number of 0 indicates codes of the same type will not be joined regardless of the layers Intended Use.
The name of the saved transformation file is included in the import report.
Point name matching is performed prior to re-naming.
Transformations are computed and applied only when measurements are imported.
