AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Import A .job File From Trimble R6 GPS With Trimble Access Software

Sep 11, 2012

I'm trying to import a .job file from our Trimble R6 GPS with Trimble Access software. I save the drawing and select import job. I have a device setup so I can navigate to the .job file, so i select the .job file and it starts to convert it, then i get the following error:

"
Unable to convert file.
Database Open Failed
File: [filepathhere] estjob.job.tic            <--- not sure why it says .job.tic here its just a .job file
Select Abort to cancel the current operation
Retry to try again with this file
Ignore to skip this file and try the next.
"
If i hit retry it just keeps giving the same error, if i hit abort or ignore I get the following error:

"An error occurred during the file download. A required geoid model, datum grid or project grid file may not be available on this computer, or, This computer may need the "Update Office Software" option (from the Trimble Survey Controller CD) applied to it."

I've tried with Civil3D 2011 and 2012 both with Trimble Link installed for their respective versions. I have Trimble Business Center installed and updated along with Office Synchronizer. I went to Trimbles site and downloaded and installed all the update office software utilities in order in which they were released, the latest being April 2012. I tried uninstalling Trimble Link and reinstalling. I also downloaded and installed Trimble Office Configureation File Update Utility which last updated in August of 2012 and was suppose to update Trimble Link. I tried making a couple of test jobs on the data collector, some in state plane coordinates and some with no projection/no datum so a geoid file wouldnt be required, but they all return the same results. I've installed the geoid files on the collector using Trimble Link's Install Geoid and also added them to the Coordinate System Manager in Trimble Business Center.

I would like to convert using this utility because it gives azimuths and distances from our base receiver and I can use them to do adjustments after the job file has been converted to a fbk (fieldbook file).

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Utilize Trimble Ability To Export Points To XML File

Apr 13, 2012

I am trying to utilize Trimble's ability to export Points to an XML file.   The XML file contains some additional Attribute data.  I have created the new Point UDP's and also Created a new Point File Format.  Here lies the Problem, when I go to the Insert Tab in the Ribbon and pick import from XML.  It gives me no choices to select a Point File Format?  It just imports the file with just PNEZD data only, and not my additional Attributes.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: JOB To FBK Files / Trimble

Feb 18, 2013

I am looking for something to convert .job files to .fbk files.  I have Trimble business center and AutoCAD C3D 2013.

 I haven’t got them to work together yet. I am trying to upgrade from Trimble geo office, which makes perfect field book files but it won’t work on my new computer.

Trimble says TGO is obsolete and that it just doesn’t work on new computers but I can't see why not..

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Exporting Design Data To Trimble?

Aug 8, 2013

We're moving to Trimble Access on the survey data collectors which means that we have to export design data using Trimble Link and then use Trimble Business Center to examine the data and do any editing before sending it to the field.

So far I've found that alignments, profiles and surfaces seem to transfer OK.  Corridors however have been an almost total failure.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Trimble Export Road Files Corrupted?

Apr 4, 2013

Trimble Access, Civil 3d  2012 export road problem

when I export a road file to my TS2 it becomes corrupted (file size 50% of what it should be.

4 months ago there was no problem. The weird thing a is that the other worstation in the office has this issue to.

Here's what I have done to troubleshoot: swapped out both data collectorsexported this rxl file to a virtual instrument on my desktoptalked to cansel and autodesk but the said they haven't seen this problem. I can rule out the following.
 
trimble/autodesk software, hardware ( to much a coincidence that both work stations have this problem)Data Collectors swapped out -  file size of the corrupted rxl were the same on the virtual deskto instrumentcorrupted dwg  - exported a road six months ago, now re-exported and the new file is corrupted.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Exporting Feature Lines In DXF For Use With Trimble Surveying Equipment

Mar 12, 2013

We often have to create dxf files for surveyors to use in Trimble survey controllers. Usually, the linework has to be 3D polylines so that they can stake out the lines on the ground in 3D.

When compiling our design we often have to use arcs which do not function as 3D polylines. To get around this, we convert them to feature lines. This works for creating surfaces but we are unable to export these feature lines in our dxf files.

GIMP :: Will Not Access File System To Import Files

Been using gimp a while, but today gimp refused to open my file system. Apart from my most recently used folder, the entire file system was greyed out. In fact the 'open' and 'open as layers' dialogues became non-responsive.

I am running 2.8.4. on Windows 7 Ultimate 64.

I have already restarted and re-installed, and updated to most recent from 2.8.2.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: STM File Import

Oct 30, 2013

After analyzing a storm system in SSA or Storm Sewers I’m exporting it to a .stm file.  When importing to CAD it recognizes the existing pipe network and asks to update it which works but it adds two horizontal purple lines in the profile which are attached to one of the pipes in the profile.  If you erase the purple lines it erases the pipe with it.

Things I tried already with no success:

-Erase profile and re-create it
-Erase alignment and re-create it
-Erase all pipes before import (so it would import as new, not update)
-Try LandXML for export/import (this wouldn’t update pipes, it just brought in a whole new network and messed up all the styles/parts)

Here is what it looks like:

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Unable To Import STM File

Nov 30, 2012

I executed Edit in Storm Sewers to work on the Pipe Network in Civil 3D. I made some changes in Storm Sewers, now I want to Import back to Civil 3D.

Nothing is happening in Civil 3D when I try to Import with either of the choices, picking Overwrite or to Create a new pipe network. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

I have attached the drawing file and the STM file.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Import ASCII File Into Drawing

Nov 4, 2013

I'm having problems importing points into Civil 3D 2012.I'm trying to import an ASCII file into the drawing.Files formats are P,N,E,Z,D in ASCII file and the same format is selected when I try importing.

The ASCII file has well over a 1000 points but when I import the points only the first twenty or so points import to the drawing.This seems not to be limited to this drawing.I tried to import points to a different drawing and the same thing happened.

Up to this point I have not had trouble importing points into other various drawings.Is there a button or setting that may have changed that is preventing full importation of the points?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Text File In PNEZD Where D Is XYZ - Import Points

Jun 18, 2012

I have a text file in PNEZD where D is XYZ. I have a description key for XYZ. I am importing this file into survey. When I import this file the points do not take the style of the description key, they take a default style from somewhere. What trick am I missing so that when I import points into survey they use the description key and therefore have the correct style.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: CSV File Import Into Drawing - Marker Styles

Apr 7, 2013

I import a csv file into my drawing and all the points and figures get drawn correct and on the correct layers.

But I end up getting some extra things also:

1. a little white circle comes in from the marker styles.  it comes in on layer V-SURV-NTWK

2. i also get an extra white line that comes in on layer 0.

I have stopped these things from happening now by hitting the light bulb for the "basic" Marker Style and the "basic" Feature Line Styles.  But i would really like to know what the Marker Style and Feature Line Styles are and what they are there for.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Survey Database Settings Change On Import Of FBK File

Nov 20, 2013

Recently we have discovered a problem (bug?) with the survey database. We usually import our field data from our Trimble controllers into the survey database (SDB) through Trimble Link. We have been very careful to get all the survey database settings right, so that the data comes through correctly and have been successful up until the last few weeks. We find this a good workflow, where we are able to make edits to our field data (change target heights etc) easily in the SDB and comparisons with Trimble Business Center and direct output on-screen in the controller confirm that our data is reliable. We often have both GPS (long Network RTK vectors from the nearest network base station) and total station observations in the same file.

The issue is that, as the fbk file is imported, the survey database settings change to reflect the content of the fbk file. The "Atmospheric conditions" and "Curvature and Refraction" settings, which I have purposely left unticked (the controller applies these corrections), become ticked. This throws out our heights, especially on the long GPS lines.

We do have the option for a workaround, which involves going back into the Edit Survey Database Settings after import and updating the data in the sdb, but this is clumsy.

This seems to be similar to the issue that was discussed here.  However, we have only just encountered this issue in the past month or two, which coincides with when we rolled out C3D 2012 Service Pack 4 across the office. We are planning on implementing 2014 soon, so I have tried it out on 2014 as well, with the same result.

Is this something that others are dealing with too? Perhaps there's some sneaky setting somewhere that I haven't found which locks down the SDB settings preventing them from being changed on import? Otherwise, I think this is a bug.

I am also bracing myself for some comments regarding the dangers of using GPS in the SDB!

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Import Point File And Assign Elevation Based On Existing Surface

Apr 12, 2012

I have a bunch (hundreds, so manual input not an option) of X,Y points without elevation data that I would like to import into a DWG and assign an elevation that is based on an existing surface object.  Is there a way to do this for a point file? The command for inserting individual points would be the "Create points - Surface > Random" but I don't see a way to do this in a batch type method where i have my PNE formatted input file to just move the points to sit on the existing surface.
