The format of the comma delimited co-ordinates (CSV File) is defined as:
- Point Identifier, Easting, Northing, Elevation, Operations[Optional]
For example 1019,297907.452,5841627.286,283.042,103 C - The co-ordinates and elevation are in metres.
The Operations, which are all optional, must conform the following format. Each one MUST be separated with a space character.
Note: All dimensions must be entered in metres.- Feature_Code Symbol_Dimension_1 Dimension_2 Control_Code1 Control_Code
2 .....
For example 8,298000.956,5841562.756,278.782,012
10,298254.366,5841428.431,288.276,201 5000 300 B
