Why is Inroads truncating my coordinates to two places when imported via a text file? The text file has them out to 5 places past the decimal. The preferences are set to display to 5 places. Is there somewhere else I need to set display or import preferences?
Hi Halana,
If you are importing using the Text Import Wizard, you may want verify your Precision at File>Project Options>Precision>Northing/Easting. Ensure that the Precision is set to 5 places and not 2.
If this is not the case please provide more details.

I have tried that and even made sure that Microstation preferences were set to display to 5 places. I haven't been able to get this fixed so had to hand enter the points to get them to show up correctly.
Hi,
check decimal symbol settings via Control panel > Region > Additional Settings > Decimal symbol. It must be point.

Thank you. It was set to point but I noticed that the display after the decimal was set to 2 so I changed it to 5. I haven't tested it yet, but think that might be the ticket.
Halana,
Have you had any luck with this? I am having the same trouble with Geopak Survey SS4 08.11.09.903. As can be seen in the screenshots below, the text file has coordinates to six decimals. After import, COGO shows all points rounded to four decimals. In this particular case, our coordinates are in Lat/Long, so the rounding is causing significant reduction in geographic accuracy. I have set User Preferences, Design File Working Unit Accuracy, Survey Preference Geometry, and COGO display accuracy to six decimals.
I appreciate any help from the community. Thanks,
Zach
