import points as polyline from Fast Survey???

[maramuresul]

hi,

how can i import points, as a closed polyline, shape file or dxf or other format, from Fast Survey (Spectra Precision) to Autocad Map 3d.

the points are saved as crd file. and to import them to autocad i import then as ascii (txt) then convert them manualy to closed polyline format.

i need to have this points in autocad, preferable as polyline. to have a direct and short import to Autocad from the Spectra Precision(Fast Survey).

thanks

I don't know what format the .crd file is, but if it's just an ascii text file as x,y,z then you can pretty easily make a script file (*.SCR) from it.

The script file would issue the POLYLINE command as it's firs line, then the remaining lines would simply be x,y coords (z is optional)

For instance, the script file would look something like this.

POLYLINE

100,200

100,300

111,222

123,234

Simply type SCRIPT at the command line, then browse and find your script file to run it. You may also be able to drag the script file right into the drawing to run it.

If the data contains a Z value, then you can use the 3DPOLY command instead if you want that data too.

If the data is not X,Y and is instead P,N,E,Z or something, you can use Microsoft Excel (or similar) to move the columns of data around.

If you have someone familiar with programming (like an IT or CAD manager) they can probably write a little Java or Python script to process the info so you don't have to jump through my above mentioned hoops.

well...

this is the way i already use it
i make a *.scr file with PLINE succeded to a x,y coordonates and Close at
the end. for this i need to import stored points(which consist of 5
files,Managed Information Card File, Setup Information file, NOT file, Rw5
file, System file) as ASCII format, in my Spectra Precision device (Fast
Survey application) after that i connect the device to Pc and take this
ASCII imported file, which is a *.txt file, which i convert to *.scr file
(as PLINE)

but i am wondering if it's possible to import directly from my Spectra
Precision, where i have Fast Survey application. shotcuting the import to
ascii and conversion to .scr. in another words i need that points i
store(CRD files) with my gps to be imported directly from the device,in
Autocad Map 3d as a closed polyline.

Thank you.
