Using the Input Data Files Dialog
Chapter 5 Preparing Input Data
To open the Input Data files dialog, choose Input>Data Files, or press the Input Data
Files tool button.
The Input Data files dialog, shown on the previous page, is where you maintain the list of
all data files your project will use during an adjustment. The following describes the use
of this dialog and the functions of its buttons:
Add – Press this button to add a data file to the list. A file selection dialog will open
as shown below. Select an existing file or create a new file. When creating a new
file, type its name in the File name field and press Add. The files dialog defaults to a
DAT extension, however you can use the “Files of type” field to show or add other
extensions. Or add a file of any extension by enclosing the file name and extension
in quotes (for example, “SouthPark.obs”).
Remove – Press to remove one or more highlighted files from the list. Files are not
deleted from your computer system, just removed from the list.
Up/Down – When two or more files exists in the list, you can move a file name to a
new position. Highlight the file and press Up or Down to change its position. The
order the files appear is the order they are read when you run an adjustment.
View – Press to view a highlighted file.
Edit – Press to edit a highlighted file, or simply double-click the file in the list. Note
that you can quickly edit the currently highlighted file without even opening the data
files dialog! Just right-click the Input Data Files tool button. (The tool tip for that
button shows the “current” file name.)
The “Project Folder” shown at the top of the Input Data files dialog is where the
project’s PRJ file is located, and also by default where the project’s data files are
located. If you add a data file to the list from some other folder, its full relative directory
path will be shown in the dialog.
