To import power line coordinates from a file, following conditions must be met:
- Plain .txt file, or .csv file must be used.
- Excel file can be used, but it must be saved as .csv file. Note: some regional settings might interfere with decimal separator, use .txt editors to check the decimal separator.
- Each line should start with either T or S (T – Tension Support, S – Suspension Support). The first and the last support must be tension.
- Values must be separated by either “;” or “,”.
- Following support type there should be three dimensions: X, Y and Z.
- Decimal values must be separated by “.”, i.e. 123.45 is correct format, 123,45 will be denoted as two coordinates, 123 for the first coordinate, 45 for the second, if relevant.
- Empty space “ “ will be disregarded.
- No empty lines allowed:

- No column headers allowed. File should only contain lines with support type and X,Y,Z coordinates.
