Leica Captivate– How to import Leica Captivate data into Autodesk’s AutoCAD Civil 3D

Leica Caintivate视频 - “如何将Leica Caintiviving数据导入民事3D”已被更新和重新发布。在这个专家洞察力中，市场开发总监Alastair Green将更多地解释为什么该视频已更新以及发生了什么变化。

Alastair – can you briefly explain why this video has been updated?

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.

Our customers know this – the three relatedLeica Captivate“how-to” videos have collectively been watched more than 25,000 times:

• Coding and Linework 1 (the basics)
• 编码和线条2（附加功能）
• 将工作进口到AutoCAD Civil 3D

由于这是一个重要的话题，我们一直在寻找方法来进一步改善现场数据的测量，并将完整的数据流纳入Office CAD套件 - 我们在Leica中稳步完成了该软件的稳步完成。。

此外，我们仔细观察了全球CAD套件，并与其制造商讨论如何改善数据流。作为最受欢迎的全球CAD套餐之一，Autodesk的AutoCAD Civil 3D当然是我们经常看到的。

同时，我们也经常访问世界各地的客户。在这些旅行中，我们总是听：

• how our customers work
• what they need
• 他们想要什么改进
• 和更多

考虑到所有这些输入后，我们意识到我们可以改善Leica Captivate数据可以进口到民事3D。

After further investigations, we found several places where we could improve the efficiency, and since we had already made a video on how to importLeica Captivatedata into Civil 3D, we needed to update that video.

What has changed with regards to the data-flow?

Well, of course, I will say “watch the video”!

In brief, we now explain three possible ways to importLeica Captivatedata into Civil 3D.

1. 对于习惯并需要简单的ASCII格式的客户，例如.csv文件，我们可以解释如何创建和导入此格式。许多喜欢这种格式的客户，因为它是他们习惯的，它可以很容易地编辑，即使它“简单”，它仍然可以导致大量的绘画在民事3D中自动化 - 节省了很多时间和钱。
2. For customers who are used to and want the Autodesk .fbk format, this is also now explained in this video. The main reason to use this format is when it is wanted to also import the raw total station observations into Civil 3D.
3. In addition, we also explain how to use the LandXML format to import data into Civil 3D. This is more of a “future-proof” format due to the level of data it can potentially contain, but is not yet so popular amongst customers.

是否需要使用特定的Leica Captivate实现这些最佳数据流程的版本？

为了使这个答案简单，假设最好使用至少Leica Caintivate v2.30。Leica Caintivate的早期版本将允许视频中描述的大部分内容，但是我们始终建议使用最新版本。
