OVERWRITING CALC POINTS WHEN IMPORT SURVEY ASCII FILE

We are still having issues when trying to create new projects in both the CADD standards microstation and the old V8i standards microstation, completely blank GPK/PRJ/PCF files, try to import the first data set and it crashes without importing a single point.

Along with that issue we are unable to select Build DTM using SMD features when trying to create TIN files. we are only able to use all points and chains which uses every point that we typically do not include in a surface (ie: trees, pavement markings, etc.)

any solutions?

I think it violates the naming convention for points in the GPK. 8 Character max. We increased the length to 15 characters but I do not think Survey points was included in that. Mostly for Chains.

that was it... any idea why those calc points were causing it to freak out?

Delete the CALC10000 to CALC10010 from the GPK using the COGO Navigator. Then process the ASCII file again. It should then start at CALC250.

You may want to edit the data set first before you import into the GPK file. You can multi point select and add a value so as to move to a new point range for the CALC points. So go from CALC1000 to CALC2000

the issue is we already have files imported into the GPK, if we start from scratch we will have to re-do all of our linework and changes to the data. is there a way to set the CALC point range of what numbers to use?

A couple of things to try. You could copy the text file to a local folder and create a new dgn and a new project with new gpk and step through the process and make sure you can import it successfully. That is what I did with your text file and everything worked fine.

Then if that works you can delete your prj file and your spp file and your geopak resource files and then create a new project and set the prefs. Then import the ascii file and see if the error comes back.

yes i understand that, we have imported countless text files with points that have more than 1 code in them and it used to work just fine.

how do i attach a ".txt" file to this forum? it keeps showing up as an image

Please attach your ascii file. Calc points are created when you have double coded shots
