DXF and ASCII Export

As the name implies, DXF Data Point Export creates a DXF format file of all data points captured within Geomet. These data points are the original points captured in the creation of prismatic features such as circles, lines, planes, etc as well as polylines and free surfaces.

The exported data points are reported as XYZ points and are the ball center values of the stylus. For example when you measure a circle, Geomet reports the circle as an inside or outside diameter, which we corrected for stylus size and then project that feature into a PCS base plane. In the export of these data points, we will report the exact location of the stylus without regard to the feature being measured.

When you have completed the measurement of features, select from the pull down menus:

[File->Export->Surfaces (DXF)].

You will be prompted to enter a file name and location and Geomet will then export the data points.
