Leica Captivate - 如何将Leica吸引到Autodesk的AutoCAD Civil 3D中。

The Leica Captivate video – “How to import Leica Captivate data into Civil 3D” has been updated and re-released. In this expert insight, Alastair Green, market development director, will explain more about why the video has been updated and what has changed.

Alastair - 您能简要解释为什么该视频已更新吗？

Okay – firstly, remember that increasing efficiency in measuring data in the field and a complete data-flow of bringing it into the office CAD package can introduce a lot of time and money savings.

我们的客户知道这一点 - 三个相关Leica Captivate“操作方法”视频集体观看了25,000次以上：

• Coding and Linework 1 (the basics)
• Coding and Linework 2 (additional functionality)
• Import a job into AutoCAD Civil 3D

由于这是一个如此重要的话题，我们一直在寻找进一步改进现场数据的测量以及将完整的数据流纳入Office CAD套件的方法 - 我们在Leica中稳步完成了该软件的稳步完成。。

In addition, we look closely at worldwide CAD packages and discuss with their manufacturers how to improve dataflow. As one of the most popular global CAD packages, Autodesk’s AutoCAD Civil 3D is certainly one we look into a lot.

At the same time, we have also been on numerous trips, regularly visiting our customers around the world. On these trips, we always listen to:

• 我们的客户如何工作
• what they need
• what improvements they would like
• and more

Having taken all this input into account, we realised we could improve howLeica Captivatedata can be imported into Civil 3D.

经过进一步的调查，我们发现了一些可以提高效率的地方，并且由于我们已经制作了有关如何进口的视频Leica Captivate数据到民事3D，我们需要更新该视频。

关于数据流的变化是什么？

好吧，当然，我会说“观看视频”！

简而言之，我们现在解释了三种可能的导入方式Leica Captivate数据到民事3D。

1. For customers who are used to and want a simple ASCII format, such as .csv file, then we explain how to create and import this format. Many customers like this format, since, it is what they are used to, it can be easily edited, and even though it is “simple” it can still result in a lot of drawing being automated within Civil 3D – saving a lot of time and money.
2. 对于习惯和想要Autodesk .FBK格式的客户，现在也在本视频中解释了这一点。使用这种格式的主要原因是，它也需要将原始的总站观测值导入民事3D。
3. 此外，我们还解释了如何使用LandXML格式将数据导入民事3D。由于其可能包含的数据级别，这更像是一种“未来”格式，但在客户中尚未那么受欢迎。

Is it needed to use a particularLeica Captivateversion to achieve these optimal data-flows?

To keep this answer simple, let’s say it is best to use at least Leica Captivate v2.30. Earlier versions of Leica Captivate will allow most of what is described in the video to be achieved, however we always advise to use the latest version.
