Note: You can import an
InRoads file to both new and existing projects; however, you can only import to
existing projects that contain no elements in the model.
Note: If the SDB file being
imported uses imperial units, you will receive a prompt asking if you want to
use Survey Feet as the unit. If so, the coordinate values for the project are
set appropriately. Conversely, if the display unit on coordinates is survey

only).
