Hello Fellow Surveyors,
I recently set up a field to finish system for a company that used Spectra software in the field and Civil 3D in the office. Spectra is very cumbersome and actually counter productive when it comes to a field to finish application. I set up .fxl files in Spectras inoffice software, a diluted down form of TBC,and installed them into both TSC3 and TSC2 data collectors. The process took several elections to accomplish one shot. The ability to see map as you topo is not conducive to field collection, it slows you down. I was hired to implement both the field and office software having worked with Survey Controller and Survey Pro. I set up the entire survey environment in Civil 3D....The field crews did not use the .fxl files....they topo'd using general commands that civil 3d recognized and then downloaded a txt file to civil 3d which processed the linework.
In any event that is my experience with Spectra....it may be good for other applications but for cost savings with respect to generating linework in the field and office it is not as efficient a tool as Survey Controller. I'm sure some will disagree and some may agree....only trying to help!

Does anyone know where I can download a version of Survey Pro for my Nomad that is earlier than version 4.6? We have a 5 year old Pentax r325 nx which has the PTS III driver in it, and spectra quit including that driver in their software in release 4.6. I have contacted Western Data Systems, who in turn said that they are trying to get info on the downloads from spectra, but spectra will not reply. We have two Nomads with Survey Pro v4.10.1 on them, and we have been using one for GPS and one for our Topcon total station, however we are now needing to run two total stations at the same time, and are not able to use our Pentax due to spectra removing the PTS III driver from the survey pro software.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
