Has anyone ever used "dxf exporter" or "points reformatter" in Star*net?

At long last, I'm trying to get adjusted coordinates out of Star*net back in to my CAD program. I've tried the "dxf exporter" and tried importing it, with varying success. I've seen the "points reformatter", but not tried it. Does anyone have experience with the settings in the former, or just experience with the latter? I have two output files, each with about 10 points (which could probably be combined into one), in the format of "Station, N,E,Elev,Desc". Any advice much appreciated.

Yes I use the points reformatter. It works well. I prefer a CSV file.

I also use the ground file but that takes some editing to be useful for import somewhere else. I keep the GND file because it has metedata in it and save as a CSV file.

I use the point reformatter as I use it to upload my control data to my total stations. I configure it to output csv files for me.

Thanks. Do I understand correctly that I edit this file to read "Comma Separated :3D:p,n,e,z,d" ?
Then just save the file?
Not sure what the "h,h," is.

h,h should be the horizontal, as you can either set as N,E or E,N.

And just click reformat.

I just use the canned one that's already in there. PNEZD.
