Point File Compare

This tool is used to compare the presence/absence of points between two files, along with a detailed report of coordinate differences.

Keyboard Command: PntFilCmp

Procedure:

1. Select the primary file for comparison.
2. Select the secondary file for comparison.
3. Optionally change the comparison rounding and report decimals.
4. Choose the Process button.

Notes:

• The decimals dropdown controls the comparison. Numbers are rounded to that number of decimal placed before being compared.
• Primary/Secondary files do not have to reside in the same folder or drive.
• If a point exists in both files, it is compared in the delta, direction and distance fields.
• If a point exists in both and the coordinates are the same, the delta, direction and distance fields are left blank for clarity.
• If the coordinates (northing, easting, elevation columns) are blank in either the primary or secondary group, the point shown was not found in that file.
