This command outputs point data from the
current Carlson coordinate file to an ASCII text file.
Specify the type of file to write with the Coordinate Order
radio buttons. There are several variations on point
number, northing, easting, elevation and descriptions as well
as specific formats for Leica, Geodimeter, Zeiss,
Maptech, D45, Cadvantage, Multiplane and SDMS CTL formats. In
addition there is an option, User-Defined Format,
to define the order of the fields output. When using
the User-Defined format, after selecting OK, the
User-Define Export Format dialog will appear.On this dialog, specify
the order of the fields
by defining a number sequence in each field. You can
skip fields and omit data in the output file by leaving
None in the sequence field for this data.
Specify the Delimiter of the export file as either Comma or Space in the Delimiter field. There are three Selection Methods provided for the data to export. Specify either Range, Screen Points or Screen Entities in the Selection Field. A Range selection is a user specified range such as 1-10,30-50. A Screen Points selection is made by selecting points from the screen area. The Screen Entities option allows for selection of polylines, lines, arcs, points, faces, inserts and text to export point data from. When the Screen Entities option is selected, the following dialog box will display allowing for the specification of the type of entity to export data from.
A description filter is also available for exporting only points from the range or selection set with certain descriptions. After selecting the OK button, another dialog appears that allows you to specify a new text?ASCII file or to append data into an existing file. The standard file selection dialog allows you to specify the export file name.
