Use of shape files in a Trimble Nomad.

Posted by Andrew Smith on November 5, 2010 at 6:15pm in Professional Advice for New Surveyors

I want to upload shape files to my trimble nomad. We are using Terrasync 4.2 and pathfinder office 4.1.

 

Trimble Nomad Shape FilesI was told to import the shapefiles into pathfinder office, create a datadictionay, imort the data dictionary, and then I would be able to see all the difffrent data in the shape file in diffrent colors. I see there is no way with out arcpad, to be able to see your DATA, such as point infomation and line inforamtion. But if I could create seperate colors for each, that would be just as good.

 

Thanks for all your help.

How to Utilize Surveyor Forums

How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.

We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

All Community Hubs inside the community have their own forum for asking specific questions to other surveyors, by location, equipment type, etc.
