Importing and converting ASCII files

With the Import ASCII Table/Points Wizard you can import ASCII files to a project and convert them to vector-point data. Table values that combine coordinates with field-research data can be imported to Attribute Manager and converted into vector-point files that you can add to a project and open as layers in the view pane.
