EXPORTPOINTS — Export points

Writes the selected points to CSV, stake-out ASCII or Leica GSI.

• Command: EXPORTPOINTS · Global name: _EXPORTPOINTS
• Ribbon: Topography › Points
• Menu: Survey

Writes the selected survey points and point objects to a file for stake-out with the total station or for another program: CSV, ASCII with the column order of your choice, or Leica GSI.

Usage

1. Enter EXPORTPOINTS or click Export points on the Survey tab.

Select objects:

2. Select the points and press Enter.

Destination file (.csv, .txt or .gsi):

3. Choose the file and its type: CSV (.csv), stake-out ASCII (.txt) or Leica GSI (.gsi).

Column order <…>:

4. For ASCII, give the column order (P number, N northing, E easting, Z elevation, D code) and the separator.

GSI format [Gsi8/gsI16] <gsI16>:

5. For GSI, choose GSI-8 or GSI-16.

Notes

• The CSV has one row per point with number, X, Y, Z, R, G, B (if the point has a colour) and code.
• ASCII and GSI use 3 decimals (millimetres) and a decimal point. GSI gets words 11 (number), 71 (code: its first word), 81, 82 and 83.
• GSI-8 holds 8 digits: UTM coordinates do not fit in millimetres and the command warns you; use GSI-16.
• Point objects, which have no number, are numbered in the order they were created.
