Importing Lines: dxf, csv and or shp into a Project - "Best Practices"

  • 1.  Importing Lines: dxf, csv and or shp into a Project - "Best Practices"

    Posted 02-27-2023 10:39

    I had a customer recently ask me for "Best Practices" when Importing Lines: dxf, csv and or shp files into a Project to use for Android.

    Can Penmap Support and or Users comment on this?

    Thanks,

    Best practice:

    • DXF/DWG will import graphic including lines etc.
    • SHAPE will import graphic & attributes including lines & GIS
    • CSV is for points only!

    Take care that the coordinate system matches between Import-Data & Settings for Penmap Project 

    For the Import-Process you need the Project Manager (Windows desktop application)

    The Project Manager is available via Trimble Installation Manager. 

    The Project Manager has a really good HELP included, I recommend to check this.

    Markus,

    Thank you for the follow up.

    This helps a lot in explaining "Best Practices" for Importing into the Project Manager.

    Thanks,
