Field to Finish – How to create the FLD in Carlson
It has been a few years since I created my FLD file but I learned the secret and I am sharing it here. I saw the other thread on F2F and thought of this.
The FLD File is a CSV with | as a separator.
Create a FLD file with a few varying codes, 2d, 3d, linework, block insert, layer, etc. Import the FLD into Excel using | as a delimiter. Now create all your codes in a spreadsheet. There are two options for saving.
Save as CSV and replace all , with |.
Or change the universal setting from , to | in windows and save as CSV. Be sure to change it back.
Rename your file to FLD and run it.
