Conversion:

Clicking

Existing File

in the upper right (in the Land XML section) will load the file, and clicking

Select

New

under the CL File section will save the centerline file in the correct format for use in FAST Survey. To convert in

the opposite direction, select

Existing File

under the CL section to recall a FAST Survey centerline file, and then click

New File

in the upper left (under LandXML file) to save it back to a LandXML file, for use in other software.

For file types in which both Import and Export options are available, the conversion procedure forms a “criss-cross”:

You bring the files into FAST Survey by going upper right (“Existing”) to lower left (“Select New”). You send the files

back to the “non-FAST Survey” format by going lower right (“Select Existing”) to upper left “New”.

When the files have been selected, the appropriate action is highlighted below, "Import to CL" or "Export to <type>".

When the process is completed, the program announces “Process Done,” and you are free to move on to the next

command. Most formats only convert to FAST Survey and not back again, and therefore only have “one-way” dialogs.

These include ASCII-Inroads, ASCII-LDD, Geopak, Moss, TDS and Terramodel/Geodimeter.

Importing TDS RD5 Files

Importing TDS RD5 Files: If TDS is selected, centerlines can be converted one-way to FAST Survey centerlines

(centerline files CANNOT be converted back to TDS files). It is important to note that the TDS RD5 file is a dual

centerline and profile file. Because the TDS RD5 file does not display the starting station, an extra dialog will appear

requesting starting coordinates (which can be recalled from a point) and a starting station.

Verify the Conversion

It is recommended that after converting centerlines, profiles or cross section files to FAST Survey format, you go to the

Editor and Draw options for these file types and review the data to verify that the correct file was converted and that the

conversion was successful. So, for example, after converting a centerline from Inroads format to FAST Survey “.cl”

format, go directly to

Centerline Editor

in the Roads menu and verify the data.

Recognizing File Formats

For reference, portions of four of the file types are shown below, as they might display in a Text Editor. The LandXML,

FAST Survey and SDR examples all reference the file DOT1.CL. These displays may help you recognize these file

types in the future. The new LandXML format, endorsed by many Departments of Transportation in the United States,

may soon become the standard in the future for internet transfer of roading and other types of design files.
