This command performs two functions: Export Carlson files to LandXML and Import LandXML files into Carlson. This command supports version 1.0 of LandXML and the following Carlson file types: Coordinate (.CRD) files, Centerline (.CL) files, Profile (.PRO) files, Section (.SCT) files, Grid (.GRD) files, Triangulation (.FLT) files, and Lot (.LOT) files.
Export to LandXML: Allows you to
export a Carlson file to LandXML. Choose a new or existing LandXML
file, then
choose an existing Carlson file.
Import to Carlson: Allows you to import a
LandXML file into Carlson. First, choose a new or existing Carlson
file,
then choose an existing LandXML file.
You first see the Import/Export LandXML dialog. To Export, for example, first click Export to LandXML. Then click Current Drawing Data Files button. You will then see the Select LandXML File dialog box. Select an existing .XML file to be exported from the list of files on the right and click Open.
The next dialog appears, showing the new buttons to be used for the
Export. Choose the Add, Remove, Change Directory and/or Report buttons,
and then Continue.
Choosing the Continue button takes you further into the Export
process. The Report button will give you the Report Formatter Options
dialog box.
Data protection is turned on by default, meaning that if you are
importing/exporting to an
existing file, you will be prompted before the program overwrites
existing data. There is a Point Protection option that will not allow
any points to be overwritten if the same number appears more than once
in the XML file being imported. If you decide to Import From LandXML,
go back to the opening dialog an choose the existing LandXML file.
