There are many situations where it may be interesting to include the values of the geometric coordinates of Points as alphanumeric data, added to some other personal data of the Points. The Spatial Manager™ ASCII Points data provider includes this option in all the applications of the suite
The ASCII Points data provider
This data provider is designed to load, import or export ASCII files containing geometric information of Points (coordinates) and some additional data (Point number, Point description, etc.)
The system supports the most common file formats as well as the most common file content structures and allows the user to select different ASCII characters as the separators used in each data row and the decimal point of the coordinates
The coordinates of the Points as information data
But in addition to the above features, in the processes of loading or importing, this data provider allows the selection of which coordinates (X, Y, Z) will be added as information linked to the Points, as well as defining their own geometries (see image below and the Wiki Desktop/AutoCAD/BricsCAD)
This option allows the user to include the coordinates of the Points in any process in which it is admitted to refer to the values of the data: labeling, queries, thematics, etc.
Practical examples. Please, watch these videos:
