Importing Coordinates--> Formatting

[wjb]

Hello, I was able to import a list of coordinates from a text file as a Map note. Now I want to change the formatting a bit. I am trying to list the following info: "Lat, Long, Call Sign, Name, Freq"

Ideally I would have Lat Long on a line, the Name and Call sign on a line, and a third line of freq's.

Is this even possible?

Thanks in advacne for any imput!

Try creating line breaks by using a semi-colon ( ; )

Code: Select all

BEGIN NOTE
35.090504,-116.939288,"N35.0905, W116.9393;KBAR;107.9 MHz"
END

Note that this works in Topo 7.
(I no longer have T5 loaded).

Thanks for the tip, using the semi-colon worked for creating an endline. Is there a document somewhere that details all of these command options?

I really appreciate the Help!

Not to my knowledge. The way I figured it out was to create and save a Draw layer that had a MapNote with a couple of manual line breaks (created by holding Shift key and pressing Enter).

Then I used the Export function to save it as a text file.
Examination of the text file revealed the ( ; ) at the places where I'd manually forced the line breaks.

Finally, I created a text file with some ( ; ) and Imported it, and Topo placed the line breaks where I expected. Mystery solved.

Using the Export function is a great tool to learn how to to all kinds of tricks.
