Point description APL 2017

neve — Fri, 06 May 2016 19:50:14 GMT

When I export my points out of Fabrication CADmep 2016 with Autodesk Point Layout 2017 the .csv file looks good. But when I try and import them into my total station using Magnet software, the description is not showing up. I have all my plan properties on and my file style on the correct settings it is not showing up. When I do this same function with Autodesk Point Layout 2016 the description comes across perfect. so the only varible here is APL 2017 and APL 2016. Any suggestions?

Can you attach, or send me via PM, the two files and I'll see if I can find what the difference may be.

Thanks,

Here are the files with 2016 Fabrication CADmep 2016 and APL 2017. I have attached the .dwg and the .csv files. When I import that .csv file into Magnet Field Layout the description does not come across.

neve, can you include the 2016 created csv also, I wanted to compare that to the 2017 one. First glance at the 2017 one does show that you are including the Code column and layer column, which are not usually used together(And the code column is blank so CodeMapping perhaps has not been done), so this may be confusing the Magnet software.

Thanks,
