    I was given a Topcon .rar file and wanted to know if this can be converted to a Earthworks and Business Center file for machine control.

    Rar is essentially a zip file. You should be able to open it up with Winrar or 7zip. Not sure what the file compressed file contains though.

    Thanks Erik. I was able to extract the files and got the DWG and DXF files. Now just need to get the control and other points from the Topcon TP3 file which I am not sure how to do.

    Tom,

    There are some videos on YouTube that will help - I searched "topcon to trimble conversion". It does require Topcon's software 3D Office to export the LLH and NEZ values from the Topcon localization. You can then import the point files exported into TBC and perform a manual calibration.

    I did see some videos as well I need 3D office. The contact I have with the other company I working along with is going to send me a download for 3D office.
