Help Needed with Point File Formats

I am in need of some serious help with understanding PFF & UDPs. I looked at all the thread and YouTube videos that I can find and I am still having issues with the importing of the newly added data. I am making structure data labels that show structure type, rim elev, and invert elevations and directions. I have all the labels, expressions and UDPs set correctly and they all work fine (within the drawing I created them in). I have a PFF that exports them correctly to a csv. But when importing the csv into a new drawing, My measure downs (or as I call dips) shift to different spots, I will always get my structure type, and maybe 2 of my directions (which don't always go to the right pipe). Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

 

Thank you!

Joseph

There is a bug when importing point files with UDP's that started in C3D 2017. There have been a number of posts regarding this, with some showing a bit of success by recreating the UDP's, but this doesn't always work. The latest post about this was within the last few weeks.

Yes I've seen some of those threads. I see where alot of people have issues with the strings, but those are the ones that come in mostly right for me. And I don't need the strings, they were just a little extra perk. I've tried taking out the strings and only importing the numerical parts but they still came in out of order.
