XPAC allows you to  import and export feature layers so that you can add geographical detail to your plots, and export them so that you can transfer them between XPAC projects.

Importing feature layers

1.Select File > Import > Feature Layers. A Windows Explorer window displays.

2.Navigate to the folder containing supported formats, for example the DXF or 00T file.

3.Select the file/s and click Open.

XPAC imports the file and displays the Edit Feature Layers window (see Feature layers for more information). The structure tree displays each feature layer, and stores any layers within the file as sub-layers. You can now set the properties for each feature layer and include feature layers in plots, also update preschedule from stage plan.
