Can you please try to use import coordinates tool and check if it suits the requirement

Hi Sanket

Thank you for the response.

How do I get each point to display the XYT (point label) as part of the import?

Hello Linda,

Tool settings should be: 

Import: Text

Order: (your choice per your data, but needs to be one of the 'T' options) 

This will import the text within the file, at the coordinate specified.  For '2d' T,X,Y the Z value is simply omitted. 

e.g. the format demonstrated by:

140,199674.4457,199710.5699
141,195435.37,202772.4119
142,185725.2127,204291.2217
143,180541.9934,204101.3975
144,176189.632,202131.8748

yields: 

To then label the coordinates, use Label Element Coordinates. 

I suggest using the fence option. 

The operation will use the active text settings, perhaps via a text style. 
When placed with a text style, you can then alter the definition of the style after the fact, to achieve a visually pleasant balance. 

Editing the style, and applying 'save' will update the existing text in real time. 

Here, I show using the Line Offset Y parameter, to raise the imported text (large, green) above the coordinate labels:

Offsetting the text does not change the origin of the element:

-N

Hi Nelson

Thank you for the response.

Is there a way to get this function check thousands of points in a .dgn file quickly.

When I use the suggestion

I have (white) text, which shows the position of the co-ordinate, but no point position (I need to click on the text, to see whether its justification is exactly in the middle of the circle, as required).

This function would be perfect, if it looked like below (note green points inside purple circles):

In this case I have imported as text co-ordinates with labels from one file and then deleted labels and imported them another time as points.

This is however far from ideal way of importing co-ordinates.

It is a pity, that simple useful functions are discarded so easily..

• Geographics had gsf files, which with minimal modification could be used for imports of various elements in various ways
• Bentley Mad had simple ma files to work with
• Open Cities – I hope I will find my way.
•  Additionally datums transformations are wrong in it..(like in Bentley Map too). I have to use additionally uSMART for all transformations.
