RE: Error - Reading ALL file

Nico - I have a solution. Not sure if this is the cause of the error however I no longer am receiving the error. The file I have been importing is lacking a backsight line in the FBK file. See the captures to better explain.

Linear elements edit tool

When using the edit linear elements tool it zooms out to show the entire chain being edited. This is an inefficient workflow. 1. By zooming out to the limits of the element being edited the operator has added more view steps to get "back" to the view…
