Back in the TGO days, didn't this file export all the observations made? I have a 5-sided traverse and all the angles were measured as 4 sets of F1/F2 rounds.
The TDEF file only has F1 observations in it and nowhere near the number observed. Why is this happening? I need all the observations made to be exported in the Trimble Data Exchange Format file for a client using other software that imports the TDEF file. It's been a long while ago, but didn't this used to work as expected, ie, select the observations you want to export and they would be?

I just checked the TDEF export using the style sheet available for the File and Report Generator utility. That one seems to be exporting all the F1 & F2 observations for all the observations recorded in all the rounds. Now what? Need this to be working correctly in TBC please.

For the fastest and most useful response from the community, it is usually recommended that you include the TBC project you are having trouble with as well as any other data, like the TDEF .asc file being generated.

Thanks Dave. I've submitted this to Trimble several times over the past few years, and yes provided the JOB files and TBC project. Thought I'd try mentioning it here. But, you or anyone can see it for yourself. Take any JOB file having some measured sets of rounds. Try exporting all of it as a TDEF file. You will not get all your F1 & F2 observations even though you specifically select them in TBC to export. I spoke with Alan Withington about this years ago at Dimensions. He told me that the TDEF file is supposed to export all your observations. I'd love to be shown it really does work right and I'm the one doing something wrong so I can correct my mistake. If it's not me, then the TDEF in TBC needs to be fixed.

@Dave Olander , but that being said ^ I'll post the JOB file and TDEF file described above when I get in tomorrow morning. Thanks.​
