To import a survey:
Click on Select File in the top right. You will be prompted to select a file on your PC. Use the dropdown in the bottom right to display a different file type. Supported file types are tab delimited text, space delimited text, comma delimited text, Excel 2003 files and Excel 2007 files. The survey file can contain column headers and must contain the measured depth in a column, inclinations in a column and azimuths in a column. The columns do not have to be in any order and the file can contain other data columns.
Once a data file has been selected, a preview of the survey file will be displayed in the main grid with the row numbers down the left-hand side of the lower grid. Select the Start Row and the End Row of the surveys you wish to import and select which column is which from the combo boxes in the upper grid. MD INC and AZI must be selected and if the column is not to be imported select NA from the combo box.
Check the Append Surveys option if you wish to add the imported surveys to the end of the current survey listing. If this option is left unchecked, importing the surveys will overwrite anything currently in the survey listing.
Click on Import to import the survey data.
Export: This option is only available if a survey or plan is selected in the Survey, Plan & Chart Viewing Area. Selecting this option will bring up the survey export dialog which allows the currently active survey / plan to be exported either as a text or an Excel file.

If the results are to be interpolated, click the Interval check box and enter the interval required. Clicking the Depth From check box allows the user to specify a depth range to export. Clicking the Include Stations check box will include all survey/plan stations as well as interpolated points. Clicking the Include Final Station will include only the final survey/plan point.
