Chris Rogers Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 We are looking into purchasing a Leica D5 or D8 laser measuring tool for field measuring building and sites. The D8 will allow info from the laser to go into autocad. Does anyone know how VW would respond to the raw info from the tool? Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Usually the conversion is very straightforward via tab-delim export >VW>Survey import. That being said... it's fairly easy to code out Excel to import the survey datum and then generate a generic VW template based file using Excel > export Datum-Template text file> VW > new from Datum-Template text file.

Cadplan Architecture Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Yes I'd be interested to know that as well but avoiding any Microsoft programmes! Quote Link to comment
Bryan G. Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Many of the data collectors allow for DWG export, then you can import the DWG file and work from there. Quote Link to comment
Cadplan Architecture Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 according to my Leica rep "the DISTO transfer program does not work on Mac devices." Shame i would hate to have to purchase a PC laptop. It would be perfect if it would work on an iPad! AJ Quote Link to comment
