Additional Information

Thanks for this issue. When you add ASCII files into ArcMap, two new columns are created for spatial information (see doc here: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//005s00000010000000). We are working to update this documentation for ArcGIS Pro as well.
