Attributes entered in TBC will not Export to a "custom" CSV

  • 1.  Attributes entered in TBC will not Export to a "custom" CSV

    Posted 02-03-2025 13:50

    This has been an issue for our workflow for many versions of TBC. When we import and process with our .fxl file we can see all the attributes entered in the field on the point spreadsheet and the properties screen, BUT if any changes are made, or additional data is entered in the attribute fields in TBC that data will not show in the spreadsheet and will not export in a "custom" .csv (with attributes).

    The properties will show the TBC added attributes, and the "Export Feature Attributes" will export the TBC added attributes. But not a custom csv export from the export tab. Is this a bug that just hasn't been fixed (for a long long time)?

    I've attached three files:

     "Drainage_Sewer" is a "custom" export from the export tab using the "Feature Attribute Export.ocexp" (delete .txt to use), one photo path saved in Access.

    "Feature Attributes" is an export from the "export feature attritutes" command button, two additional photo path attributes added and saved in TBC.

    Same points, no changes, but different photo path attributes.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Having the same issue, has anyone found a fix?

    Nope. I sent a bunch of sample data to Trimble (via Frontier), but haven't heard back for a couple months now. My work around is to use the "Export Feature Attributes" and then manipulate everything into the needed columns in Excel.

    ok. after a bunch of trial and error and talking with our Trimble rep, have figured out that if you make edits to feature code attributes in the properties pane they will not hold when you export a CSV file or job file. but if you click on the 3 dots next to the feature code it opens up the feature code editor pane, if you do your edits there they seem to hold and i can export a CSV file with all my edits.
