Description: To place a survey point marker on a line string, Trimble Business Center uses symbols located in a symbol font file, symbol.shx. If this font file is placed into the AutoCAD (or other CAD) fonts folder (e.g C:Program FilesAutodeskAutoCAD 2018Fonts) then a drawing exported to CAD format will display as expected. If the font file is missing, the survey point markers on a string will appear as other types of symbol.

An alternative to copying the symbol.shx file to the font folder is to swap a font symbol in a CAD drawing after data export from Trimble Business Center.
