Note: In addition to supported file formats, you may create custom Text File Schemes. This functionality allows you to setup Import and Export of ASCII point databases on an individual basis. For example, for one project you may need to process a comma delimited data file. Another project may require you to process a file with header information and fixed length fields.

Note: Velocity files are a commonly used ASCII format that have special handling built into the Calculator. To work with Velocity files, please see: Loading Velocity Files.
