Importing Survey Feature Codes into Survey

I am working with a client to create a preference (.XIN) file for the transition to InRoads and InRoads Survey.  With this task, we need to setup all of their survey feature codes, some 600 or so items.

I was able to find the Import  Named Symbology from .csv function (that has since disappeared - possibly due to InRoads v81/MicroStation v8i Select Series 1incompatibility issues?), but that only addresses half of the need.  Is there another import function for Style Manager?  Is there a faster or better way to input/import Survey Feature Codes?

  • Thank you both for the replies. The Named Symbology Tools must have disappeared when I loaded InRoads from the icon and it opened in ACAD.

    Jason - Unfortunately, all I have to work with are Excel files, no existing preferences to work with. The client is going from Eagle Point to InRoads.

    Caddcop - I was hoping it wouldn't come down to brute force or XML editing, but that may be the only answer.  Thanks for the suggestions on Notepad++ with the XML add-in.  I'll look into that one first.
