Export Trimble JobXML Files (.jxl)

Exporting data in JobXML format allows you to share point data and coordinate system data with Trimble field software.

  1. Select Export in Home > Data Exchange.
  2. Click the Survey tab in the Export command pane and select Trimble Field Software exporter (jobXML) and verify settings below.
  3. Select data to export.
  4. Specify any fields in the Settings group, including:
    • File version - For the exchange of features, choose version 6.32 or above.
    • Export geometry - Select Yes to include geometric features like lines, polylines, and polygons intended for GIS connections, such as Esri, Postgres, or Sql Server. Geometry and attribute data can be adjusted in the field and exchanged between TBC and Trimble Access.
  5. Click Export to save to a file or Save Remote to save to Trimble Connect via the Trimble Connected Workspace.

Note: Point data is exported into the JobXML Reductions section; the coordinate system data is exported into the Environmental section; the Fieldbook section is left empty.
Note:JobXML allows only one quality per point. If a point in this software has different qualities for planar and vertical components, the lowest quality is exported.

Exported Point Quality

JobXML does not have a single field to represent coordinate quality. This software uses a combination of the SurveyMethod and Classification record to represent coordinate quality as shown in the table below. This representation is valid only with JobXML version 5.0.
