GP: How do I import gages from an ASCII text file

Revision Date: 2005-09-01

I need to import gage information from an existing text file.

To convert data from an ASCII file:

Open the File Menu and select Import. The GAGEpack Import Wizard will open. Click on Next.
Enter the path (drive and directory) and file name of the file that you want to import.
Specify the number of top rows, if any, that you want to skip.
Specify the File Type.
For Fixed Field Width, you will also need to specify the number of columns to be imported.
For Comma or Tab delimited data, you will also need to specify the String Delimiters, if any.
Click on Next. You will need to map the source fields to fields in the GAGEpack database. If you are not sure whether you have fixed field data or tab/comma delimited data, click on the View button, to see what your ASCIIdata looks like. Then click on OK.
For Tab or Comma delimited data, you will need to map the source field column to its GAGEpack counterpart.
When you are finished mapping the data, select Finish to complete the import.
Refer to your User Guide or on-line help for additional information.
