This is a step by step procedure for importing link text files. Usually the link text files are delimited with commas or tabs, but they can also be fixed width. Pathloss 5 is flexible enough to read either.
Example link text file in CSV format:
Site name 1,Site name 2,Latitude 1,Latitude 2,Longitude 1,Longitude 2,Elevation 1(m),Elevation 2(m),... Woking,Fairview,55.47972222,55.83722222,-118.74722222,-118.59666667,925.61,574.02,... Fairview,Brownvale,55.83722222,56.07333333,-118.59666667,-117.87972222,574.02,612.84,... Beaverlodge,Demmit,55.21391667,55.46194444,-119.26891667,-119.88944444,928.60,834.99,...
Step 1 - Open text (CSV) file
Click View - Site List to bring up the Site index. You can also click the Site list button on the toolbar.
A file open dialog box will appear. Select the text file you would like to import and click Open
Step 2 - Select text file type
This is a comma delimited file with column headers. Select Delimited and because we do not want to import the column names, set Start import at line to 2.
Step 3 - Select delimiter
Click the Next button. Make sure that the delimiter is set to Comma and click the Next button.
