Exporting data for importing to CAD Model

[[To...]]

Has anyone ever exported data points that could be imported into a CAD model to create a topographical data map like you can in CAD Evaluation?

[[No...]]

I think I did some years ago, but I don't know how they were used on the CAD side. I think I used the PCM command writeActualsToVDA.

I don't need to automate it. Just need to output data in the proper format that CAD system can import.

VDA should be readable by almost every CAD system. As far as I know Calypso has no other VDA export option than this PCM command. Maybe in curve, but we don't use it yet.
Many CAD systems can also import point data which comes in an ASCII table format like CSV. Many seem to understand tab separated values in the order X Y Z I J K. But the exact specs may differ from system to system.

You can actually set saving measured points as VDA or DXF - but we have setted to plain text - not sure what it's doing, but it's on Prepare -> Results to file
