Import Trimble FieldLink Files (.tflx)

Import data in a TFLX file from Trimble FieldLink, which is a layout file that can contain points, lines, and arcs. The points can be design, control, or staked (layout) points that specify if the point was staked in or out of tolerance.

Prerequisites:

  • None.

To import a TFLX file:

Note: The supported data types may depend on your license level (Core vs Pro).

Importable Data

Data in the file

How the data is handled when imported

2D line, polyline

Polylines import as separate 2D CAD lines (e.g., a 3-segment polyline becomes 3 single-segment lines); vertices are converted into points at the line end points.

3D line, polyline

As above, polylines import as separate 3D CAD lines; vertices are converted into points at the line end points.

Arc, circle

Same as 2D and 3D lines above.

Points, layout points

Included in the TFLX file. If as-build data is captured, the points are shown as green, red, or grey for in tolerance, out of tolerance, and no data collected, respectively.
