Suddenly and for no apparent reason, Foresite stopped importing *.JOB files.
Doing this on both the laptop and new desktop.
Like some big kahuna flipped a switch...

No help yet from Spectra/Trimble. Think they have orphaned that program.
clues?
raw data looks fine. *.job and *.raw converted from *.survey files in Survey Pro v5.x

Is there a way to import *.job files into Carlson Survey 2014?

Aloha,
Try exporting the data in ASCII or .cr5 format and bring it in that way. Just the coordinate values and none of the line work. The .survey files can be a bit finicky at times, especially if you've run it through some serious gyrations in your datacollector. You might try reloading Foresight. Another trick is to do a save as and then export from the saved as version. Good luck getting Spectra Precision's help with Foresight. They're pushing a variation of TBC called Survey Office these days. I gather they are sort of the bastard step children of Trimble. 😉

Good luck.

You can import a raw file into the raw editor in Carlson.
