Trimble FieldLink - Units are Incorrect

Problem: User has CAD and points appear in meters when he wanted imperial.

Solution:  If a CAD file is imported into Trimble Field Link "unitless" it will assume the units selected in TFL. Have customer export point file to a .txt and adjust the header to the correct units of measurement (meters or feet). Then change TFL units to the desired units of measurement (meters or feet). Import the points and background (the CAD file will assume the units of TFL) back into TFL and the point file will readjust upon importing with new header
