I am trying to convert a SurvCE 4.0 Rw5 file using the Star*Carlson converter in Star*Net 8.0. It apparently doesn't expect the "resection" field code and bombs out and returns this error:
"ERROR [Line: 24] Invalid field code.
--Resection:HI0.000,PN6954,N 2208541.5233,E 5799355.4263,EL0.0000,--RESECT"
Does anyone have a work around for revising the rw5 file so that it will be converted?
Thanks in advance.

I bought starnet and the carlson converter , based on the salesman at microsurvey saying it read carlson files and had terrible results .. Microsurvey did not seem interested in fixing it either , sold it ..
We have had the same issue. We got around it by performing a set collection after the resection.
That's a great idea.
MicroSurvey's tech support got back to me and came up with a work-around until they get it fixed:
You need to delete everything after the HI in the line that starts with "--RESECTION" like this:
ERROR [Line: 6310] Invalid field code.
--Resection:HI5.260,PN98,N 5436.8356,E 5262.0994,EL936.4675,--RESECTION 2-3
Workaround:
Edit line 6310 so it looks like:
--Resection:HI5.260
But it seems to not be meaning the reverse measurements.
I'll try your work-around.
Thanks,
Ed

My latest conversation with MicroSurvey indicates that you also need to edit out the extra "DE" line in the middle of the resection (in the .dat file).
