I have a job file from a Trimble TSCe that I need converted to a text file. I just need the points in either a txt or csv file for insertion into Carlson. My TGO software is on the fritz and all I have is the job file. I don't have the data collector either. Long story. Apparently ForesightDXM doesn't recognize a Trimble job file and it won't convert the dc file either. I am starting to think I may have a corrupt file. Anyone willing to take a shot at it?
Terramodel can import the raw .dc file and then export a .asc file which can be opened with a text editor such as notepad. If you need someone to convert it send it to me: [email protected]
False alarm. TGO still not working on current computer, but managed to find an older version on another computer. Thanks to those who thought about it though.
Thanks
I coughed up the cash for the Foresight software which I just use for conversions. It would be great to be able to plug the downloaded file directly into Carlson.

Check this out dude. In Carlson, Survey>Edit Process Raw Data>File>Import>From Trimble and then you have your very own raw data file with which you can edit, and reduce.

See my reply to Brent. Like Prego, It's in there.

I didn't have the dc file until just a few minutes ago. The data collector is in the shop with the robot. I had the technicians email me the job file because they apparently don't know how to export a points file.
Thanks for the info though. I hadn't ever done it that way. Learn something new everyday. One question though, how do you get the sideshot records to be recognized as points?
I just did what Kris said and it worked pretty seemlessly. Only problem I had though was that when I tried to save the coordinate file it didn't recognize the sideshots. Sure it's just a step I'm missing since I don't normally insert my points this way.

You may have to fix the records from DS to SS and then they will reduce. I had that problem with traversing with the robot.
It's pretty handy, no?

Nevermind Kris. I played around with it a bit and figured it out. This may be the new way I get points into a drawing. Very cool.

Glad I could help.
Do you have Windows7? TGO no longer works on Windows7, it has been replaced by Trimble Business Center (TBC). You can download a 30-day full-licensed trial on http://www.trimble.com/TBC_DemoDVD.html . After 30 days you can still use the software without a license, and use it to import/export your data to your device. The 'custom export' tool is what you will need.
