I just started a new management position with a Florida County and they use Spectra Precision Survey Pro for their data collection. I have been having the crews output their .RAW file from the .Survey file, so that I can run them through an adjustment. But I have noticed that if they do a transformation mid-file, Survey Pro will delete the observations of the transformed points in the .RAW file and replace them with the transformed coordinates. I can still see the observations in the collector, so they must still be in the .survey file, but I can't seem to get to them to adjust them. Anybody else had this problem?
Do you have Spectra Precision Survey Office or Trimble Business Center? If so, you may be able to get the information from there. I do NOT like the fact that you cannot export a *.job and *.raw file from SPSO or TBC. Many adjustment programs (I use Carlson), need the *.raw file.

I'm running a demo of Spectra Precision Survey Office to see if it is worth buying. I do not see an option to export .survey file to .raw.

This is a style sheet that will output a RW5 file
This is an issue with Access as well.
never ever never never translate your survey to control coordinates. Translate your control coordinates to your survey...OR...export a csv file, combine it with your control coordinates in a new job then translate.
I made this mistake once. Somehow I got the deleted raw data back, in TBC I think but don't remember. It seems to me I somehow cut and pasted it into a text file from the optical spreadsheet then manually edited it into a StarNet DAT file, a painful process.
Translate your control coordinates to your survey
I realize that sometimes one must alter one's preferred workflow to accommodate the peculiarities of one's software, but the above is a perversion of common sense.?ÿ Reading it makes me glad that I'm a SurvCE user.
