Access linework not showing in Business Center

Hello Everyone

I have a job with linework in Access that looks correct on the data collector. When I bring the points into Business Center via a .job file the linework does not show up. Google is not helping, anyone have any ideas?

It is the same feature file, I copied it from the data collector to make sure. I also tried opening a new TBC project and keying in a few points, the linework shows up as i would expect.

Thanks for your help.

"Process Feature Codes"

It was the Process Feature Codes option under the Survey Ribbon. Thank you @Robert Hoy you saved me a lot of manual line drawing. I had have not had to do that in the past.

Robert's answer is the same way we process the linework, using TBC. However, I did notice that they recently added the ability to export the actual linework from Access that was generated in the field as a DXF file.

I plan to stick with reprocessing it with TBC. This allows me to make corrections to the coding, which unfortunately we always need to do. But exporting directly from Access may be a good solution for some.

Just curious if anyone prefers to take the Access linework directly to AutoCAD without going the TBC route.

TBC has never automatically drawn feature codes upon importing data for me. If I want to draw them, I've always had to initiate that command.
