- Hello!
I'm not sure about all of you but some of you are using Civil 3D as a tool for handling Survey data.
There are several things to think about depending on what kind of equipment you're using. Also depending on what data you have and how it is surveyed.
Today I saw that Leica has release (some time ago) an additional software that saves the ".JOB-files" to .FBK. This way you have an additional way to get the Leica survey data in to Civil 3D, besides using the plug-in "Leica X-change". This is an "on-board" softare to be used with Leica TPS1200. It was released 2007-07-17.
You can find it here.
Next post here from me will be on how to get survey Figure lines in to C3D from a Trimble unit. I have heard that it has been a tough time getting it in. Now I have a partner here that has a good solution to it. I just have to translate it from Swedish... ;-)
Stay tuned!
Cheers / Ove

Please do! An extraneously created FBK file does nothing unless the Trimble data collector is communicating directly with C3D.
