Parameter descriptions

Tie Point Text File

Specifies the path and file name of the text file that contains the Tie Point data. THe Tie Point data in the text file must be in the format specified by TPFORMAT.

TP File Format

Specifies the format in which the Tie Point data exists in the input text file. Default for [Status] is active if not specified.

Output: Output OrthoEngine project file name

Specifies the name of the existing OrthoEngine project file that will receive the Tie Point data.

TP IDs Prefix Label

Specifies a prefix string that will be added to the Tie Point identifiers read from the input text file. The new Tie Point IDs will appear in the OrthoEngine project in the [Tie_Point_ID] field. See the TPFORMAT (TP File Format) parameter for more information.

Duplicate Points

Specifies the action to perform when a Tie Point record read from the input text file has the same TP ID as a Tie Point record already existing in the OrthoEngine project file.

Report

Specifies where to direct the generated report.

Available options are:

• LOG: generates a report on the terminal (default)
• <modulename.RPT>: appends a report to the module's RPT file
• DISK: generates a report on file "IMPRPT.LST"

Details

TPIMPORT reads Tie Point data from a text file and writes the information to an existing OrthoEngine project file.

The TPFORMAT (TP File Format) parameter specifies the file format for the Tie Point data.

If a Tie Point read from the input text file has the same identifier as one that already exists in the output project file, that Tie Point is either discarded or it replaces the record already existing in the output project file, depending on the value of TPOPT (Duplicate Points).

TPPREFIX specifies the prefix to add to the Tie Point identifiers in the OrthoEngine project file. This prefix helps to avoid matches with the Tie Point indentifiers already existing in the output project file.
