Field boundaries from X35 to C3000, is it possible...?

[Mr Wendal]

Run both these displays, the tractor equipped with the C3000 was purchased more recently and I have transferred, implements, fields and ab lines to the C3000 but not managed the field boundaries. Im aware the agco screen is not the same league as a X35 so it's maybe not possible?
Both systems are on 7700 series Massey's on Rtk. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Have you tried the Next Farming wayline converter? Should find it from some AGCO support site.

I've tried doing this from our sprayer on x35 to drill tractor on c3000 and like you the field boundaries do not show up. I did ask the question with someone at topcon and seem to remember them say its because the 2 systems save them as a different format.

I did wonder if it was for a reason like you mention, as all other information transferred ok. Given a choice I'd have a x35 but the c3000 was in the tractor when we bought it.

Do you mean X35 does not do Topcon 3.19, nor Topcon 3.20+ formats that the wayline converter supports?

I've have tried wayline converter this morning, can import X35 lines and boundaries into the tool, but have been unsuccessful converting the boundaries into a format recognised by the c3000.
Also recorded a boundary with c3000 by driving round field, then exporting it into wayline tool to see if I could determine which format it worked on, both displays seamed to use topcon 3.19 (or at least it was grey'd out when went to export from wayline tool). I might be missing something as far from expert.

I frequently use wayline converter to convert boundaries and AB-lines to and from the C3000 format. If the converter does recognise your X35 format (that I'm unfamiliar with), I'd be surprised if it didn't write it in the C3000 format.

If anyone can provide an X35 USB stick test sample, I'd be happy to try it.

Does seam odd that I'm not getting boundaries into the C3000 if it's something that you've able to do.
Can I ask what format you export information out of the wayline converter to be accepted by the c3000?

What's frustrating is ab lines can be exchanged without any converting direct from either display, it's only boundaries that are giving problems.

Have discovered that it is possible to transfer boundaries, without the use of the wayline converter, just with usb stick.
Done by importing each field boundary shapefile individually from the usb stick. By drilling down from clients,farms, fields, boundaries then highlight boundary shapefile.
It takes a while.
