Hi,
You should look at the full Stringer program.
Stringer Connect is only a subset of the Stringer program whose primary
output is a Coordinate file. Once you have a coordinate file you can put
points in the drawing.
With the full program the stringing is done from the Point codes of the
points and the fieldbook string commands are not needed.
Also Stringer overcomes the limitations of the field book file format by
creating 3D polylines directly as well as editable 2D polylines.

Autodesk Survey is not free, we had to purchase it extra to add to our Land
Desktop Companion 2007 so we could convert asci files (P,N,E,Z,D) to FBK
files. It does work with Companion, you do not have to have a regular seat
of LDT to use Survey. Some will say just get the free Stringer connect
software. Stringer connect will only convert RAW files, not the P,N,E,Z,D
type files many still use!. If you use RAW data, this is the way to go.
I am interested in finding a good 3rd party software to avoid or help with
the fbk files. I will check into fbk ed plus and see!
Thanks the insight cadrick.
