Access

Home / Data / Import / Sokkia SDR

Requirements

Xchange Sokkia Survey module

Options

The following properties allow control of the import.

General	Description
Import Measurements	Select if measurements are to be imported.
Process Codes	Select if feature codes, control codes and strings should be processed to create lines and polygons.
Control Codes	Select the control code table to be used when codes are processed.
String Number Attribute	Enter the name of the attribute that contains the string number used during feature code processing.
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

Records that can be imported from Sokkia SDR include: Header (Header), Instrument (INSTR), Station (STN), Target (TARGET), Collimation (COL), Environment (ATMOS), Scale factor (SCALE), Back bearing (BKB), Coordinate (POS), Observation (OBS), Job (JOB), Reduced measurements (RED), Set of observations (SET) and Note (NOTE).
If Process Codes is selected:
- feature codes, control codes or string id's will be used to create lines and symbols.
- consecutive points with the same code are joined when the layers Intended Use is set to Lines or Polygons providing the point is not already part of a line sequence created from control codes or string id's.
If the lines created by feature code processing are intended to be breaklines, prior to import, edit the layer the object will be placed on and in the General tab, set Breakline to Yes.
Attribute definitions with the name specified in String Number Attribute are not imported.
In the measurement code, feature codes, control codes and values for control codes must be separated by a space.
Process Codes is enabled when Code is selected in the Layer As control.
A "00" string at the end of a code indicates codes of the same type will not be joined regardless of the layers Intended Use.
Within the points code, feature codes, control codes and values for control codes must be separated by a space.
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.
A total station setup summary displays when TPS measurements are imported. Differences larger than the allowable tolerance display in red.
