Use the Import and Geocode procedure to convert table data into a spatial dataset. The source table data must contain two columns, one with an X and one with a Y coordinate. The table can then be converted into point data.
The Orbit GIS Import and Geocode tool is a 3 step procedure. Launch the procedure by selecting the menu option Tools → Import & Geocode… .
Select the source file. Click on Browse… to select a file from your file system. You can select *.txt or *.dbf files.
Specify the columns for the X and the Y coordinate. If the table contains columns with a X or Y header, they are recognised.
