Import a GENIO file

Description

Import data from a GenIO file.

Access

Home / Data / Import / GENIO

Requirements

GENIO module

Controls

General	Description
Label Size	Enter the default size for the code. Codes with more than the specified characters will be truncated. See example below.
Alpha Labels Only	Select the checkbox to remove the trailing numeric characters from the label. See example below.
Text Scale Factor	Enter a scale factor to be applied to imported text.

Lookup Tables	Description
Layer	Select a lookup table to map codes in the GENIO file to layers in the project.

Record Types

The following table lists all supported record types.

Record Type	Name
1	Format
3	Order
17	Angle unit
18	Linear unit
80	String
90	Triangulation

String Types

The following table lists all supported string types.

String Types
Point
Survey station
Survey observation
Contour
Design
Geometry
Text
Interface cut
Interface fill
Long section
OSPP
Triangulation (TRIN)
Master

Notes

GENIO file types supported are (.txt),(.mos) and (.inp)
Strings with a single coordinate vertex are imported as points.

Example

Labels

If a code in the GenIO file has more characters than the Label Size the additional characters will be ignored.

A file has the following GENIO codes -

BG01
BG02
BG03
BG04

If Label Size = 4 the codes read from the GENIO file are BG01, BG02, BG03, BG04. When defining lookup tables, specify a mapping for each of these codes.

If Label Size = 3 the code read from the GENIO file is BG0. When defining lookup tables it is only necessary to map the code BG0.

If Alpha Labels Only is checked, and Label Size = 3, the label read from the GenIO file is BG as trailing numeric characters will be stripped from BG0. When defining lookup tables it is only necessary to map the code BG.
