Exportable and Uploadable Data Formats

The Export and Save File Remotely commands, Device pane, and data synchronization functions for job sites, designs, and work orders enable you to export the following types of data from your project. See file-specific topics for details.

Note: When data is exported to a TDEF file, information about mean angles is lost. This may lead to different computation results when using the exported data.
Note: Trimble Survey Controller JOB files support point names of 16 characters or less. Exported point names exceeding 16 characters are truncated in the file.
