To batch process files:

From the main menu bar select "Conversion" and then select the "Batch Process Input File" radio button option. Click on the "Select File" button and use the file chooser to specify the appropriate file. Note: The output file name will have a LC_ prefix added to the input file string.

The input file must conform to one of six formats (see formats below).The user must select the appropriate radio button option that corresponds to the input format prior to selecting the "Process" button.

Input file Formats:

1.) Degree Decimal Degrees. Input order is longitude, latitude,datum and optional record number. Note: The longitude can be specified as a positive or negative number, the datum must be specified as "NAD27" or NAD83 and the optional record number can contain alpaha numeric characters.
Example:
98.123456,38.123456,NAD83,1001
-97.123456,37.123456,NAD27
100.123456,39.123456,Alpha101

2.) Degrees, Minutes, Seconds. Input order is longitude degrees, longitude minutes, longitude seconds,latitude degrees, latitude minutes, latitude sedonds , datum, and optional records number. Note: The longitude degrees can be positive or negative, the seconds values can contain decimal values, the datum must be specified as "NAD27" or NAD83 and the optional record number can contain alpaha numeric characters.
Example:
99,30,0.0,38,30,0,NAD83,1001
-99,30,0.0,38,30,0,NAD27,1002
-99,7,24.44,38,7,24.44,NAD27,Alpah1004

3.) Degrees, Decimal Minutes. Input order is longitude degrees, longitude decimal minutes, latitude degrees, latitude decimal minutes, datum, and optional records number. Note: The longitude degrees can be positive or negative, the datum must be specified as "NAD27" or NAD83 and the optional record number can contain alpaha numeric characters.
Example:
-99,30.1234,38,30.1234,NAD83,101
-99,30.1234,38,30.1234,NAD27
-99,30.1234,38,30.1234,NAD83,103
-99,30.1234,38,30.1234,NAD83,Alpha104

4.) Township, Range, Section and offset Footages. Input order is Township number, Range number, Range direction, Section number, North/South offset footage distance, North/South offset footage direction, East/West offset footage distance, East/West offset direction, footage offset reference corner, datum and optional record number. Note: TRS numbers are integer, Range direction is "E" or "W", North/South offset direction is "N" or "S", East/West offset direction is "E" or "W", offset reference corner is "SE", "NE","SW" or "NW", the datum must be specified as "NAD27" or NAD83 and the optional record number can contain alpaha numeric characters.
Example:
19,18,E,18,1320,N,1320,E,SE,NAD27,2008
19,18,E,19,1320,N,1320,E,SE,NAD27,2009
19,18,E,20,1320,N,1320,E,SE,NAD27
19,18,E,20,1320,N,1320,E,SE,NAD83

5.) Township, Range, Section and Q Calls. Input order is Township number, Range number, Range direction, Section number, location spot,subdivision 1 (largest),subdivision 2, subdivision 3, subdivision 4 (smallest), datum and optional record number. Note: TRS numbers are integer, Range direction is "E" or "W" location is one of nine posibilites, "C" = center, "N" = center of North boundary, "S" center of South boundary, "E" center of East boundary, "W" center of West boundary, "NE" corner, "SE" corner, "NW" corner or "SW" corner. Valid subdivisions include quarter calls "NONE", "NE", "NW", "SE" or "SW" AND half subdivision designators "N2", "S2", "E2" or "W2". The datum must be specified as "NAD27" or NAD83 and the optional record number can contain alpaha numeric characters.
