A variety of Route Data Formats can be Imported. The Format Types are hard-coded into AutoChart and Details of the currently available file types are given below:

CFloor

The CFloor Route Format

 

Easting/Northing TP Comma Delimited

The Easting/Northing TP Route Format consists of a comma delimited file in the format Easting, Northing. The File should define the Route as a Series of Straight, Arc, Straight, Arc, etc. points with the Start and End of each Arc defined by the appropriate Tangent Points. i.e. Point -> Start Tangent Point -> End Tangent Point -> Start Tangent Point... etc.

 

Easting/Northing TP/CP Comma Delimited

The Easting/Northing TP/CP Route Format consists of a comma delimited file in the format Easting, Northing. The File should define the Route as a Series of Straight, Arc, Straight, Arc, etc. points with the Start and End of each Arc defined by the appropriate Tangent Points and Arc Centre Point. i.e. Point -> Start Tangent Point -> Centre Point -> End Tangent Point -> Start Tangent Point -> Centre Point... etc.

 

Easting/Northing TP/IP Comma Delimited

The Easting/Northing TP/IP Route Format consists of a comma delimited file in the format Easting, Northing. The File should define the Route as a Series of Straight, Arc, Straight, Arc, etc. points with the Start and End of each Arc defined by the appropriate Tangent Points and Arc Intersection Point. i.e. Point -> Start Tangent Point -> Intersection Point -> End Tangent Point -> Start Tangent Point -> Intersection Point... etc.

 

Easting/Northing/[Description] Comma Delimited

The Easting/Northing/[Description] Route Format consists of a comma delimited file in the format Easting, Northing, Description (Optional). The File should define the Route as a Series of Straight point to point segments. If the optional Description Field is included, then this information is attached to each vertex in the polyline and can be used to name/label Alter Course points etc. along the Route.

Kp(m)/Easting/Northing/[Description] Comma Delimited

The Kp(m)/Easting/Northing/[Description] Route Format consists of a comma delimited file in the format Kp in metres, Easting, Northing, Description (Optional). The File should define the Route as a Series of Straight point to point segments. The Kp value of each point is assigned to the appropriate polyline vertex and enables Interpolated Kp calculation to be used with AutoChart. If the optional Description Field is included, then this information is attached to each vertex in the polyline and can be used to name/label Alter Course points etc. along the Route.

 

Kp/Easting/Northing/[Description] Comma Delimited

The Kp/Easting/Northing/[Description] Route Format consists of a comma delimited file in the format Kp in kilometres, Easting, Northing, Description (Optional). The File should define the Route as a Series of Straight point to point segments. The Kp value of each point is assigned to the appropriate polyline vertex and enables Interpolated Kp calculation to be used with AutoChart. If the optional Description Field is included, then this information is attached to each vertex in the polyline and can be used to name/label Alter Course points etc. along the Route.

 

Kp/Lat/Long/[Description] Comma Delimited

The Kp/Lat/Long/[Description] Route Format consists of a comma delimited file in the format Kp in kilometres, Latitude, Longitude, Description (Optional). The File should define the Route as a Series of Straight point to point segments. The Kp value of each point is assigned to the appropriate polyline vertex and enables Interpolated Kp calculation to be used with AutoChart. If the optional Description Field is included, then this information is attached to each vertex in the polyline and can be used to name/label Alter Course points etc. along the Route. The Latitude and Longitude values can be read from most common formats (Decimal Degrees, Degrees & Minutes, Degrees Minutes Seconds) with appropriate separators (symbols, spaces, etc.)

 

Lat/Long/[Description] Comma Delimited

The Lat/Long/[Description] Route Format consists of a comma delimited file in the format Latitude, Longitude, Description (Optional). The File should define the Route as a Series of Straight point to point segments. If the optional Description Field is included, then this information is attached to each vertex in the polyline and can be used to name/label Alter Course points etc. along the Route. The Latitude and Longitude values can be read from most common formats (Decimal Degrees, Degrees & Minutes, Degrees Minutes Seconds) with appropriate separators (symbols, spaces, etc.)

VisualWorks XP.csv

See VisualWorks XP.csv Cross Profile File in the Cross Profile Formats Section. The Route Polyline is created along the As-Found Top of Pipe position from the processed Cross Profile Markers.

 

VisualWorks Sail Line

The VisualWorks Sail Line File Format is a comma delimited file with records are terminated with a CRLF. The format must contain a header record to define the column contents. This should be:

   * Type, Easting, Northing, Kp

 

The data records must be ordered in ascending KP order. The Easting Northing and KP columns contain decimal number values, the number of decimals can vary.

 

The 'Type' column has the following options:

 

   * 0 - Specifies as end of a straight line segment.

   * 1 - Specifies the centre of an arc in a clockwise direction.

   * 2 - Specifies the centre of an arc in an anti-clockwise direction.
