Trimble Business Center

We use numbers for our feature codes.
For example, a code of "23" is a buried water line. Of course, we type "23 BS" to begin the string and everything.
A code of "207" is the edge of pavement. You get the idea.

When we have multiple codes going at the same time, we have a code of "207" and a code of "207.1".

This is an issue that has been going on for about a year and a half.

So like I said, a code of "23" is a buried water line. We have an attribute for the code so we can put the size of the buried water line if its marked by the utility company. And many times we will have multiple water lines running at the same time. We will have a "23" and a "23.1" and a "23.2" all going at the same time.
 
Prior to an update a year and a half ago, when we entered the code of "23", the "attribute " button would show up and we would put an attribute in the attribute field. Then if we had a code of "23.1", as soon as we typed in "23.1", the attribute button would show up. The codes are identical in every way in the Feature Definition Manager.

After the update, only the code of "23" has the attribute show up.
If we type in a "23.1", or "23.2", the attribute field no longer shows up.
The same thing happens with all of our codes with an attribute and a photograph.
We type the base code and the attribute shows up and the photograph icon shows up like it always did.

But as soon as we type in a code with a ".1" or ".2" or ".3", the attribute doesn't show up and the photograph icon doesn't show up.

We have all of the latest versions of everything, TSC7 operating system, Trimble Access, TBC... everything.


It's probably something Trimble messed with when they did an update. Forgot some code or something.

Does anyone have any ideas? Or does anyone have access to someone at Trimble?

Thanks.

This kind of error should always be reported to your dealer. Only if they log it into the official Trimble ticket system they might look at it.
Here in the forum you mostly have users helping each other. There are a few Trimble employees skimming through the posts as well, but there is no guarantee that your issue will make it to the bug list. So far they always asked for the ticket number under which your dealer logged the bug.

can you share a screenshot.  I know I have issues with feature codes on pipe.  we have a code of 58 for rcp and we add the dia.  here is our example  58 f/l 24 rcp.  Well i have tried several scenarios as TBC reads two codes the 58 and the 24.  What I am now doing is merging the f/l24rcp so there is no spaces.  Before i would add symbol < and > which would also work and that was to time consuming.

I would keep the code as a 58. Add an attribute to the code in the feature definition and put the size of the pipe in the attribute. See image please.
