Summary
Create a Layout by importing information written in a predefined Text format.
The text file format is CSV (Comma-Separated Values) in UTF-8 format, so you must save it in that format before importing.

The coordinate information entered in the Layout Text Format is relative to the model coordinates. Therefore, when entering the Geographical Coordinate according to the coordinate system setting, you must consider the relative coordinates of the model coordinates. |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Layout-1 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | by length |
NAME : Layout Name
ORIGIN-X, ORIGIN-Y : The X, Y coordinates of the Layout start point.
INITIAL ANGLE : Rotation angle from Layout start point (relative to the XY plane)

clothoid
LENGTH : Length of the segment
R : Radius of an Arc Curve
blank condition
TYPE ≠ arc
RS, RE : Start, End radius of the clothoid curve
blank condition
TYPE ≠ clothoid
Note!
In the Layout feature, the Beginning Point (B.P.) and End Point (E.P.) are always entered in the first and last rows, but not in Text Format because the values are all fixed.
