Dear all,
I am very new to Mx.I go through survey input files of tutorials but could not understand the data given. How to give data in survey text file so that we can import in MX? Can we give in PEND format?( point, easting,northing,description).please help.
thanks in advance
You can either use the ASCII Import Wizard (MX Menu: File > Import > ASCII Import...) or data acquisition.
I would recommend to look at data acquisition. Have a look at the following introduction and videos.

What is "Data Acquisition" ...? To quote the help:
The Data Acquisition toolset provides user-friendly functions that compile disparate data sources employed in the civil design process. The primary goal of the Data Acquisitions toolset is the creation of an existing surface DTM. The tools are available for users of the following civil products: MX, InRoads, GEOPAK, PowerSurvey, and PowerCivil for North America.
All Data Acquisition data is stored in the active DGN Model and can be exported to various file formats as required.
Again, if you read thru the 5 articles on the blog...
or look at some of the videos...
things should become clearer.
Best Regards
Hi Wolfgang,
These are very impressive examples. But as a long term german InRoads Survey user I'm still missing some import survey math calculations when importing survey raw data like,
free stationing (one (unknown)Station and two or more backsights to known controll points with distortion calculation and adjusment settings.
