Exporting elevation points

[marklcc]

Has anyone come up with a way to export elevation data (xyx points) to a for example CSV file so I can load it in my survey gear.

I have been asking Chief for 10 years to create an export tool for this, still nothing!

you have them in a schedule?

When you select the table there is an "export text" icon (circled green below) that is also on the right-click menu.  selecting the icon opens up options for TXT, CSV and XML exports.  For CSV I normally check "open in default spreadsheet editor" and it automatically opens in XLS after export.  You can then resave in XLS format or keep it as CSV.

 

When I save it in XLS format, I can add columns to the right that calculate on the data in the imported columns.  On subsequent exports to a new CSV filename, I can cut and paste the new imported data over the old imported columns in my XLS format and the calculations will update themselves based on the new data provided.

it doesn't work i got this from a guy years ago who made this macro for me but it wont export.

He made special point markers and a special schedule, but they no longer work.

I was hoping chief had created a tool to do this by now, but I guess not.

Thanks

Not sure who you got them from, but I would just do a little troubleshooting to try and find out why the stopped working.  If you have the values in a schedule, you should be able to export quite easily.  Must just be a slight formatting or export issue you need to straighten out.  Might be something as simple as getting rid of the unit indicator even.
