xyz data

Question

Hi all,

I have been delivered many raw data and GIS data from  geophysical survey.

I need to export some seabed profile data but the MBES folder has xyz data which I am not able to open with a notepad as the file is huge (I believe this is the reason).

Is there any chance I could have access to the xyz info from the GIS layer I have? Is there any way to export the xyz from there and make my life easier?

I have ArcGIS 10.2 with Spatial Analyst.

Many thanks

If it is a text file with conventional x,y,z format, did you try

to make an event layer?
