Joddla - JobXML to DXF Converter

Abstract

Joddla is a desktop software tool that converts Trimble JobXML files containing surveyed data points to line and arc segments in a DXF file. It is a replacement and improvement over the DXF export stylesheet available for the Trimble field computer.

Example Fitting

The above picture shows an example of how a polyline curve has been fitted with arc segments.

Features

The software currently features the following:

  • Converts the reduced data points from the JobXML file to points in a new DXF file.
  • Fits arcs to curve data points, instead of producing polylines.
  • Can convert large data sets without any problem.

Status

Software holds beta quality, and is deemed good enough for production use.

Limitations:

  • Assumes that a correct grid has been input into the field computer, no reprojections or similar are done.
  • Only tested with data points collected in Sweden.

If you use this software, or have suggestions on how to improve it, please file an issue!
