Unable to open the Cross-Section Digitizer [5.70]

  • 1.  Unable to open the Cross-Section Digitizer [5.70]

    Posted 06-06-2022 12:26
    I seemingly am unable to open the cross-section digitizer after updating. Clicking the button does nothing, nor does trying to launch it through the command pane.

    Anyone else seeing this issue?

    It looks like it is doing this for everybody.

    Well that is serious issue. What is the easiest way to revert to 5.6?

    EDIT: Found the old download link in my emails.

    Always keep a copy of the old version. That way you can switch back by just using a different shortcut on the desktop.


    - Once you've installed a new version go to the folder "C:\Program Files\Trimble"
    - create a copy of the folder "Trimble Business Center"
    - and rename it with the version number

    - change the shortcut on your desktop to point to the "TrimbleBusinessCenter.exe" in this new folder, that way you can keep as many old versions as you like

    - some really old versions (before 5.50) might have an issue with newer macros though

    I was unaware this was possible with TBC. I will be doing this going forward.

    Thanks Ronny!

    I can confirm the bug as well. Hopefully Trimble fixes this quickly.

    The idea of keeping multiple versions is great except when I try to import a project saved in 5.7 into version 5.6 it causes an error and will not open.

    Hopefully Trimble knows about the issue and sends an update quickly.

    Open 5.6, hod down control+shift, drag in your .vce that was saved in 5.7.

    I was not aware we could revert projects like that. I immediately got one of my projects stuck in 5.70 and figured I was just going to have to wait for 5.70 to get fixed to continue working on it. 
    Very handy to know!
