This should be a simple addition to the info bar options. I have a customer who needs to see the live azimuth from their position to their stakeout point. They do this in Access with no problem, but SW is making their process more complicated than it should be. Along with that, can we get the Straight line distance to the point available in… (Show more)

I agree. This is a massive shortfall with SCS900 and now Siteworks. There are many options to tun on in the scroll bar for setout, but something as basic and fundamental as setting out by bearing and distance to a point has been lacking for years!!

Feature Request-Layer Manager Copy Paste

In other cad programs the layer/level managers allow a copy and paste function for layers. Usually it will add suffix "-copy" to the layer being copied. Might not be a huge time saver but would be nice to not have to set all the other attributes if only changing a few letters of a layer name.

Feature-Request Categorize Layers

When categorizing multiple layers it appears the dialogue reassigns one layer at a time. It seems to reset the dialogue then proceed to the next layer. On layer intensive jobs this can take a long time to process 3-5 minutes. It seems if the workflow could aggregate the recategorizing to not have to reset the dialogue after each layer being… (Show more)

Trimble DL app

I saw a video on this app and it looks pretty handy, but It appears this app does not work with SPS recievers, I tried connecting a 986 and the app won't find it. Any chance to get support for these devices?

What to do with opposing .dc files

Long story short, major software issues at the beginning of the job resulted in screwed up sites and a redo of the calibration files and in an effort to not blow up all of our control in the middle of the project, I developed a separate site on my computer and have been passing files back and forth through the file explorer to avoid conflicting dc… (Show more)

Hoping this is solved for you already, but here is a little feedback just in case. The .dc defines the Site Calibration, either one done in the field, or just a published selected in SCS900, Siteworks or TBC. As for the name, it is automatically named the same as the Site/Project, so if stuff was copied around, that's probably why you ended up…

Generating multiple corridor surfaces

Is there a way to create multiple corridor surfaces at once instead of having to generate them one at a time?

Lasse Hanberg (to Bruce Hopkins) 3 weeks ago (Show more Show less)

If you have multiple layers attached to the corridor, you could use the Create Corridor Surface command. Though it will only generate one surface at a time, creating one is just 2 clicks with the mouse. Would also recommend posting in the TBC-specific forum here on the Community - there are some very capable people active there, including…

SPS930 MC search window not accepted

I've seen this in the past and have a customer dealing with it. Point the gun to opposite corners for the search window and it says there must be at least 2° difference between them even though a large area was encompassed by the selected corners. Has anyone seen this or know of how to make it accept the search window?

Lasse Hanberg (to Keith Knifer) 3 weeks ago (Show more Show less)

Are you sure they are pointing in the diagonally opposite corners when defining the window, and not just turning the TS sideways/horizontally? The TS has to be moved both sideways and up/down between the two corners. The software should indicate that, but I've had a few customers who just turned it horizontally, and got the error you describe.

Is there certain data you are trying to work with? If so, explain what it is, what it was collected with including field software, field equipment, and file format if it is data from other than Trimble.
