Options

The following properties allow control of the import.

General	Description
Import Measurements	Select to import raw Total Station and GNSS measurements.
Measurement Date Attribute	Type the points attribute name where the observations date and time is to be placed.
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 points have known heights. A 2D Conformal transformation is computed if points are 2D and use the default height. A 2D Conformal with Height transformation is computed if points are a combination of 2D and 3D. A warning is included in the Import report.
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

Supported objects include points, stations, GNSS measurements, total station measurements, attributes, measurement codes, polylines, rectangles, circles and squares.
Open polylines are imported as lines.
Closed polylines, circles, squares and rectangles are imported as lines unless the intended use of the layer is set to polygon.
Use the LandXML format to export data to GeoMax X-Pad.
The name of the saved transformation file is included in the import report.
Point name matching is performed prior to re-naming.
