    The document provides steps for creating an import/export format and importing points from an ASCII file into a COGO point database. It describes selecting column names that correspond to the data in the ASCII file, defining the delimiter used in the file, naming the import format, and clearing an option to insert points directly into the drawing for faster importing. It also discusses using import options to handle duplicate points, point numbers assigned in the source file, and assigning new point numbers, before making the final selection of format and file to import points into the database.

TIP If you cannot remember the order of the information in the ASCII file, then click Load to load the ASCII file into the dialog box so you can see the information that it contains. 7 Click OK to return to the Point File Format dialog box. 8 Select the Delimited By option and choose the file delimit method. For example, if you set up the ASCII file so that each piece of information is separated by commas, then type a comma (,) in the Delimit box. 9 Name the format, and then close the Point File Format dialog box. 10 Click Close to close the Format Manager dialog box. 11 From the Points menu, choose Point Settings and click the Adding Points to the Drawing as Points Are Create tab. Created To import the points into only the database, clear the Insert to Drawing as Created check box. This significantly increases the speed of the import. You can specify the points that you can later bring into the drawing from the project point database by using the Insert Points to Drawing command from the Points menu. Use to locate
