A client collected (handheld?) some points that they want shown on a drawing of a project we are working on for them. They emailed 2 files over just a little while ago but I have never seen these file types (*.cor and *.dbf). Has anyone worked with these file types? What do I do with them? Should I ask the client to just send me a text file of the points they collected? It is nothing that has to be very accurate, just some location shots of a power line.
.dbf is the old dbase filetype - you shiuld be able to open that with excel or access
don't klnow about .cor - name suggests coordinates. It may be just text, you could try using notepad
I expect dbf is a database file.
A quick net search indicates cor can be a form of gps tracklog data.
If you want to shoot me an email (I think it is active in profile), I can try to open in Global Mapper and export as dxf. Not sure if that is one of the many compatible file types.

That's it. Thanks.:beer:

The Trimble Pathfinder program uses the .cor extension for differentially corrected files. If you think it is a Pathfinder file send it to me and I'll try to open it. You will need to send it tonight or early tomorrow morning because I will be leaving to go to the PLSO convention and won't be back until Saturday morning. My email is in my profile.

It was a Trimble ProXRS handheld. Thanks for the offer, but I have it under control now. :beer:
