Point Layout Export to include Units

[eric_hansonOEG]

I have updated our Trimble tablets to the newest Trimble Field Link software v5.2. With this new update it requires a change in the CSV format to include the units, in my case (ft). If you do not include the units in the CSV the point files and the background do not align. As of right now I cannot find an export setting out of Revit Autodesk Point Layout to include the units for the y,x,z coordinates. A work around for right now is to manually add the units to the CSV before creating a Trimble file. Is there an export setting i am missing?

Old csv format – point don’t align with the new v5.2 software

New csv format – points align with the new v5.2 software

There is no option for that.  First you should of course contact Trimble and ask why they would make a breaking change like that, there is absolutely no reason it should not work as it did before without the unit indicators.  Second, you could try using one of their formats that we also support export/import to, just use the extension pull down to select one, I think mep and cnx are the two and field link should import either.

I have contacted Trimble and they said they will be discussing the issue with their development team. I will post again when i get an update from them.
