palommy Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I have data from a property survey that is in PNEZD (comma delimited) format in a text file. I am having difficulty importing it into my project. Do I need to somehow convert the file to another format? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Hi: check Chief's MENU - FILE - IMPORT for available formats I don't think PNEZD is available as a choice but I do think there is a CSV choice maybe change the extension to the CSV format Chief can recognize (do this to a copy of the file) or try to find a conversion utility to change the PNEZD to one Chief can use or try "save as" from the software that created the PNEZD file as a format Chief can use Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerryT Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 In Chief, PNEZD is the #,Y,X,Z,D Format or CSV where Y is the Northing and X is the Easting - Z is the Elevation & D is Description. As long as your PNEZD file does not contain extra letters or text lines it will import under import Terrain Data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palommy Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 When I attempt to import using the #,Y,X,Z,D format, I get the following error message: C:\p4sync\dev\Releases\16.3\chief\source\importterrainwizard.cpp(379): Warning #272032042 "An error was found on line 445 while parsing the file." 6/13/2014 10:22:01 AM Build: 16.3.0.59x64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 ok, open the file using Notepad and look at line 445 to see if there is a typo Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GerryT Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Probably your on the wrong line due to some extraneous lines. Posting your data file would resolve the problem immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palommy Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Here is the file, maybe someone can clarify for me. Thanks a lot. GPS_Data.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerryT Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Line 445 or point # 915 has no comment. Fix that and data imports OK. The First number in a line is a point number not a line number. Your data has a lot of zero elev points--- you may want to look at it again. Also some points are spread way out beyond a typical lot. Grouping is very bad.
