Loading a traverse

This topic applies to ArcGIS for Desktop Standard and ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced only.

Steps:

1. Right-click the Traverse window and click Load Traverse.
2. Navigate to the traverse text file.
3. Click the traverse you want to open.
4. Click Open to load the traverse information from the text file.
Tip:

You also can load a traverse from the edit sketch by right-clicking in the Traverse window and clicking Load Traverse From Sketch. Each segment in the edit sketch becomes a course in the traverse. The course type can be either Direction-Distance or Curve. The values for each course are inverted from the geometry of the sketch. You cannot load a sketch from a multipart feature.
