Txt export

My PC surveying software needs line information (Line1, Line2...) from imported txt files to create lines. Is it possible to add line numbers to exported txt files in J-Field?

Line can currently be exported from J-Field in DXF, DWG, LandXML and Shapefiles. Your software can't import any of these? What software is it?

We are using 3D-Win software and yes, it can import all formats you mentioned. But the point is that we collect lots of attributes with points and lines surveyed in the field and txt files seem to be the best data exchange format for us. There is so possibility to edit files with text editor after exporting them. Maybe I can use tag as line number in exported txt file?

You should be able to export the points with all their attributes and then import into your software. You can combine the Code, Attribute and Descriptions fields together using the Separator 2 set to a space. This is what I use to export points:

Yes, I have quite similar settings in my receiver. I just hoped to find "Line Id" option under that + button.

Also take a look at the LandXML files. XML files can be opened with a text editor. The line name is exported with the line. Here is an example of what J-Fields exports for a line:
