Hi, I am new to SW, what is this .swp file. How to istall and run?
Thanks, Bert

RE: Import points from file


The .swp file is a macro which is run from within SW.

Check the Help file for more details.

Quote (SW Help):

To run a macro:

Click Run Macro on the Macro toolbar, or click Tools, Macro, Run.

In the dialog box, locate a macro file (*.swp, *.swb) and click Open.

cheers

RE: Import points from file

I believe you may have to edit a line in those macros so that it locates and reads the point co-ordinates file.

cheers
