Import Landmark ASCII Metafiles

  1. From the Application toolbar select | Import Map Overlays | Import Landmark ASCII...
  2. Browse to the source ASCII metafile(s) using standard Windows commands. Use the down arrow next to Files of type: to select from all files if your file extension is not .asc. Click <Open>.
  3. The Map Overlay window will open. To edit text scaling or the output filename, left click on a filename. A text scale of 1 is the default. Use 1.5 to increase text size to one and a half the default size. Use 0.8 to create text at 80% of default size.
  4. Toggle on Convert Coordinates if you need to change the map projection of the imported layer.
  5. Select either Save As Overlays or Save As Underlays for the imported layers.

If the text size is unacceptable, re-import experimenting with text scaling. If you use the same names for files, output files are simply overwritten.
