The Import RoadXML File routine provides a mechanism where road-based data from other software applications (including Carlson Software) can be brought into a project and used for analysis and/or design purposes. The program supports centerline and profile data in Trimble style RoadXML format. To import a RoadXML file, a series of dialog boxes are presented:
Select RoadXML File: The standard File Selector dialog box prompts you identify an existing RoadXML (*.RXL) file you wish to import. The following dialog box is then displayed:
RoadXML Units: Indicates the Units of Measure associated with the incoming RoadXML file (see the Unit Differences item below).
Destination File Method: This option allows you to indicate how the incoming data file(s) are named as they are imported.
Change Directory: This option allows you to adjust the folder location where the new data files will be written.
Import from RoadXML: Enable or disable various entries that should used to produce the data files found within the RoadXML file.
