I have a Total Station Data file (test.gsi) that was collected with a Leica 1200.

How can I import the data to ArcGIS and plot points with the point name given by the totalstation observer. After importing the points i need to draw polygons around the points to define land parcels.

Please help me. This is urgent.

ArcGIS Survey Analyst extension supports .gsi import

Survey Analyst imports and exports measurements and other field data from Total Positioning System (TPS) equipment using the following survey data converter formats: ASCII converter, Geodimeter converter, GSI converter, SDR converter, TDS coordinate converter, and TDS raw converter.

The data import utility can be extended programmatically to import additional data formats.

http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/extensions/surveyanalyst/common-questions.html

Which data formats can be imported into a survey project?

You can also convert points to polygons (min of 3 points) programmatically for automating land parcel creation.

I would use the Cadastral Editor to create 'cadastral fabric' includes points to parcels webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.3/… & webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.3/… – Mapperz♦ Sep 13 '10 at 12:57
