Hi,

Presumably this would be a simple task but I cannot find clear instruction in the ArcMap help menu on how to create/plot points from a CSV file that has columns storing eastings, northings, and the zone of the points. In my case I believe the zone corresponds to the projected coordinate system. So far I have only seen forums describing manual methods for creating points from eastings and northing by starting with an empty new shapefile, but my CSV file has nearly a million records.

Is there a simple tool in ArcMap 10 to do this?

Thanks in Advance,

Ro

If you can confirm the projection and units, it's as simple as adding xy events.
That should just about do it....
