Question:
How do I automatically attach multimedia files to points in the Survey field book?
Answer:
Prior to SS3 refresh 08.11.09.674, Civil Survey only automatically imported images from Leica VIVA data collector type files.
Beginning in 08.11.09.674, images can be automatically imported and assigned to specific points from any data collector format. The rule is that the point must contain an attribute where the attribute name contains “PHOTO” and the attribute value contains the image relative path and name.
For example, TDS RW5 example would be:
AT,TNPHOTO1,TV.\Images\ElectricPole.JPG
Attribute name is PHOTO1
Attribute Value is .\Images\ElectricPole.JPG
The value points to a jpg with a relative path.
Trimble DC example would be:
D9F1 CP02 CP01 324.12615620833392.53793880000000.00000000000000IPINS 50.010490752312420.002777777777780.00277777777778

89FCPHOTO1 .\imgoo1.jpg
During import, the software looks for points with attribute names containing “PHOTO” and grabs that image and attaches it to the point. The image must be locatable by the relative path to the RAW file. Therefore, make sure that the images are downloaded and in a directory relative to the raw file or in the same directory as the raw file.
