Pathloss 5 - Import sites from text file

This is a step by step procedure for importing link text files. Usually the link text files are delimited with commas or tabs, but they can also be fixed width. Pathloss 5 is flexible enough to read either.

Example link text file in CSV format:

Site name 1,Site name 2,Call sign 1,Call sign 2,Latitude 1,Latitude 2,Longitude 1,Longitude, 
Woking,Fairview,CHW613,CHW614,55.47972222,55.83722222,-118.74722222,-118.59666667,
Fairview,Brownvale,CHW614,CHW615,55.83722222,56.07333333,-118.59666667,-117.87972222,

Step 1 - Open CSV file

Click View - Site List to bring up the Site index. You can also click the Site list button on the toolbar.

Click Import - Link text file

Select the text file you would like to import and click Open

Step 2 - Importing

This is a comma delimited file with column headers. Select Delimited and because we do not want to import the column names, set Start import at line to 2.
