Export Related Files

You can specify which additional related files (for example, geoid files or datum grid files) to automatically export with a JOB file when you are exporting to a field device either directly (the device is connected) or indirectly (the files will be stored for upload at a later date).

To specify related files to export to a field device:

  1. Select Related Files to display the Related Files command pane.

    If there are files that are required for the project (for example, a coordinate system file specified in the Project Settings dialog), they are displayed in the File Name list with a gray background.

  2. Click in the first empty File Name box, and then either type the path and name of the related file or click the Browse button to select the file.
  3. Click in the Applicationbox and select the associated device application (or <All> or <None>) from the drop-down list.
  4. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each additional related file and its associated device you want to specify.
  5. In the Upload with export list, select to upload all files, just the files required for the project, or no files.
  6. Select the Copy files to project folder box if you want to copy the files specified in the list to the project folder at the time of export.

    The file referenced in the list is not changed. If the file already exists in the project folder, it is overwritten so that the project folder contains the same version that was uploaded to the device.

  7. If there is a currently active device, it is displayed in the Active Device box. Click the Upload Files Now button to upload the selected related files to the device.
  8. When you are done, click OK.

    The related files you specified will be automatically uploaded with the JOB file when you perform an upload to a device.
