Only a few points are importing from large .txt file

Hello all,

 

I have a point file that had some letters in the point numbers, so I edited the file to remove them, but am still only getting a few of the points to show up for some reason. I've tried copy and pasting the info into a new .txt file, but the same limited points still showed up. The file should have around 1200 points, but maybe 100 are showing, if that. I've gotten point files from the same GPS unit with no issues just a few weeks ago so I'm stumped on what the issue is.

 

I have attached the point file and it should be in PENZD form, comma delineated. The coordinate system is NAD83 Montana state plains; International foot (MT83IF). 

 

I appreciate any and all help!

It appears you have duplicated point numbers in the file. You need to use the option, User Next Point Number, and check the box to Apply to All. See attached drawing with all points visible...

Thanks for the reply Todd,

 

I checked out your .dwg and selected all the points and still only saw 194 out of the approx 1200 points that should be in there. I also had done the 'use next point number' and 'apply to all' steps that you mentioned. Still unsure what my issue is

It's something with your point numbers, some are way to large or start with 0, whichever might be throwing Civil3d.  I converted it to a csv, changed the numbers starting at 1 and brought in 1225 points.

I was about to do the same thing that @LucasHicks just did. Yeah, those point numbers are definitely causing the program to glitch. Very odd way of using point numbers.
