Alternatively you might want to use the ASCII Import Wizard.

Standard MX strings are 3 dimensional - so normally you could not import more dimensions, i.e. only the the X, Y asnd Z values are stored for a point.
However, there is a 4 dimensional string (by default called PSSA) used to store survey stations (control points for a survey) which stored the X, Y, Z, and Survey Station Name. So, for example, a point on this string could be (1000,1000, 25,STN1). Note that the station name is limited to a maximum of 4 characters.
With the example file you posted, I did the following. (i) opened the file in a spreadsheet and removed the first column of numbers - these are not required as MX will number the points when they are put into the model (ii) aded the lines shown below to tell MX how to read the data - note that I am creatinig a survey station string of 4 dimensions.called PSSB (iii) input the file and the string PSSB was stored in the model 'A test case'.
genio,a test case 001,Format(f10.3,1x,f10.3,1x,f7.3,1x,a4) 003,ordr,4=1,1,2,3,4 080,pssb,7=4 533939.680,294540.610,163.860,1 . not showing data here 0,0,0,0 999
The GENIO options above are standard MX options. The 001 option tell tMX how to read the data, in this case, a number of ten colums, then a space, another 10 column number and space, then a 7 column number and space, and then 4 characters (even if the codes are not 4 characters long). The 0,0 at the end shows the end of the string, and 999 shows the end of the GENIO option.
The image shows how this PSSB string is displayed.
Can you please post an example of the data in a '.coo' file. I have never heard of this and would like to know what it contains, and then see if I can help.
Thanks.
When i import land data from a .coo file with the ASCi import comand i can't optain the code information of points. If i use the "simple survey" style only the points and the numbers of points are displayed if i use the "points and strings" style only points and level information is displayed. In both cases point codes are not diplayed.
I hope someone has an answer on my question.
Thankx.
