Importing survey points

[cwong]

Hi,

I'm trying to convert an ascii file to binary using "DTMTools Extract XYZ" in Geopak, so that a tin file can be plotted.
However, the ascii file contains too many points (>70,000), and there is a limitation to the number of points using "DTMTools Extract XYZ". Instead of dissecting the large file into small ones (Excel has a limitation of 65536 rows), does anyone know of any other efficient ways to deal with this problem?

Would ACAD do the task? Macro? MDL? AutoLISP?

Thanks for the advice.

I'm not sure about MicroStation, but in AutoCAD .... this is a simple task.

See thread555-45632.

I hope that helps.
R.
