Presentation

Export of PNT files to DBF tables with x,y,z coordinates for each point.

This application exports a point layer main table and add two fields to it, MAPX and MAPY, which hold the X and Y coordenates. If there is a field representing Z values, this is also exported.
The main table may contain multiple records for each graphical object. It may also records not linked to any graphical object. Multiple z coordinates are also supported. It is also admitted that the main table (T.dbf) of the point layer of which we want to obtain the XY(Z) coordinates is the destination table. In this case, the main table is enriched with the new MAPX, MAPY (, MAPZ) fields.
If the main table contains the MAPX, MAPY and MAPZ fields, these are not overwritten. Instead, additional fields with similar names are created.
