#How to change symbol of points in trimble business center software
Use a different piece of software to process line feature codes for which a X is needed.
why isn't it top priority?Ī quick summary with the situation as it stands - correct me if I'm wrong & a better solution, please:ġ. Has there been any concrete progress on this yet and if not. Still with 5.2 the recent version hot off the press, the default point symbols are shape files, I thought I'd bump this up again and also to underscore it, share a similar post I came across from 2017 where someone is expressing similar sentiment. As required often/always to be shown on surveyors products, here in UK. and dismiss the suggested workarounds as not worth the time they take.Īs it stands & as you all know there are currently multitude faster better methods to put crosses on points & line features without using TBC. I think about this odd workaround and missing functionality almost every time I use TBC. TBC - From Field to Finish with Confidence. You'll only have to do this once to assure that your TBC symbols match in your version of AutoCAD. Once you copy the symbol.shx file, export the TBC project as a DXF or DWG again, then all of the default TBC point symbols will be visualized correctly in AutoCAD, as shown by the symbols below: Search for the symbol.shx file from the TBC installation folder and copy it to Autodesk Support folder.
If you’ve installed either software package in locations other than the default, the installation directory is likely different so first check where each program is installed. These are the default folder locations where each software program is installed: Trimble Business Center - C:\Program Files\Trimble\Trimble Business Center and Autodesk Support folder - C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD \Support. To correct this, copy the file symbol.shx from the TBC installation folder to the Autodesk installation Support folder. These symbol differences are shown in the screenshot below. However, when you export a DXF or a DWG from the Export command in TBC, the point symbols are not transferring to AutoCAD with the same appearance.
Symbols can be assigned to points in TBC using the Point Symbol command. Did you know you can use the *.SHX file to assure that your point symbols used in TBC translate exactly into AutoCAD? Thanks to Evelina from TBC’s QA team, here’s how.
