I try to steer clear of these features which I sceptically view as proprietary traps, however I must say Place Details do transfer to Family Historian and back again to Rootsmagic. Through all the issues for source templates in moving from RM to any Similar issues exist for source templates.

It will be interesting to see what the Family Historian update to embody a direct Rootsmagic import will bring, I have wished for a Place Details geocoding model which is the only data I now maintain in Rootsmagic, in light of their announcement I think I will just email support again regarding that matter.ДЄt the end of the RM created GEDCOM you can see the '0 EVDEF' items, they are the fact definitons and have the sentence codes and other RootsMagic info that doesn't map over to FH.

Place Details export in Rootsmagic are in a non standard format which Rootsmagic has chosen, however Family Historian preserves these in the Address field and these will import back into Rootsmagic. Leslie is correct regarding the Fact definition lines, these are not standard Gedcom, same with '0 _ PLAC' lines, in fact anything in your Gedcom file beggining with N-Space-Underscore is a Custom Gedcom Tag. So for a sanity check I would export your Rootsmagic database and inport it into a new Rootsmagic database and then compare the properties between those two files first.
