TDS RAW file

[Geoffrey Leiter]

We have downloaded a TDS RAW file into our computer system. How do I link
this file to SurvCAD XML?

..RW5 files work fine but the new .RAW format doesn't seem to have in import
option.

Where did the RAW file come from, meaning what type of collector? I think
the RAW file is only to be able to "reprocess" the CRD file. There is no
raw data like notes in the file, it's binary. The notes should either be in
a RW5 file or NOT file, depending on the collector.

I assume you downloaded through TDS Survey Link. You can either convert it
to the .rw5 file through Survey Link or go into Windows Explorer and change
the extension. It is essentially the same format with added formatting for
feature codes and attributes.

So... TDS is now creating a file that has the "RAW" extension?

Changing the extension seemed to work.
