[GIS] How to get an ESRI spatial reference in XML for Pathfinder Export

arccatalogarcgis-desktopfile-geodatabasepathfindertrimble

I am trying to export from Trimble Pathfinder into an ESRI Geodatabase, in UTM10N (EPSG:26910), however I do not have a spatial reference XML setup in the export preferences. I looked into how to get this and found instructions that said I could use ArcCatalog 10.0 on a standard license to do it. I have access to a standard license but it is 10.3. I tried using the spatial reference exported from that but Pathfinder crashes on export when using it.

I have looked online and tried some XML variants posted at epsg.io and other websites, but nothing is working, I suspect because the ESRI XML variant to be used in a file geodatabase is somewhat customized (?).

Does anyone have leads on how to get this XML snippet so I can do this export to file geodatabase?

Also, remove ".LatestWKID......./LatestWKID." from the XML. Pathfinder will give you that warning. I would have thought by Pathfinder Office 5.81 that Trimble would have included the ESRI Geodatabase coordinate system schema in the program. But not yet. Some day.
