Is there a way to import multiple csv files at once into Carlson?

[Anonymous]

I have a project with hundreds of point files associated with it. I was supposed to be being sent point files as they came in, but today I discovered I am missing some and now I'm trying to figure out if some of the files have points in areas where I need data.

So, I need to be able to import a bunch of files at the same time. Normally I would do this via the task manager in Civil3D, except that most of the point files have control points in them with point numbers that start with a letter which Civil3D will not read for whatever reason, and I can't just go through and edit all the point files.

Carlson WILL read these files, but I can only seem to import one point file at a time which would be very tedious for this task. Is there not some way to do a batch import of multiple csv files like Civil3D will do?

In Civil 3D, you can use those lettered identifiers, as Point Names, not Point Numbers.

Copy your point file format, edit the copy, changing the Point Number column to Name.

If you are wondering about if Carlson can do this, and cant just use civil 3d, you might have better luck with carlson support.
