Issue with publishing designs from TBC to WorksManager - fails with status=400, code=10012, and message="Input file is invalid. Files should be of extension .svd or .svl."

This is weird because TBC to my knowledge is incapable of publishing .svd or .svl to WorksManager, it has always used .vcl exlusively.

In fact, I complained about this very thing a couple years ago, since WM supports the older file types; and ironically, the web interface is incapable of generating .vcl designs and exclusively generates the older format which is then invisible in the job in TBC.

There's no release notes showing new changes to WM, but I suspect a silent update was performed and has broken the publish functionality. We're still running 5.81, perhaps changes were made to WM that TBC 5.9 has been equipped to handle?

Waiting to update TBC until the first wave of guinea pigs flush out all the bugs, and also waiting for Rockpile to release a compatible version of their macros.

There is two option of which to choose on export out.  There is the JOB SITE DESIGN and the WORKSMANAGER DESIGN. 

 The WORKSMANAGER DEISGN is designed to export straight to TTM, DXF, .PRO...... This is the option that is exported straight to your dummy controller folder in the TRIMBLE SYNC DATA folder.  This option you will have to drag and drop inside Worksmanager.

FYI.....if you dont know.  in the web browser of Worksmanager at the ride side of the browser bar, there is an icon that you can pick and download the Worksmanager app.  this will make an app of WM straight to your desktop.  quick way to go to WM.
