LAYOUT OF A CAD HOUSE PLAN

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone. 

Could someone kindly describe the workflow one would use when one needs to output a CAD plan for layout on-site using field based technology such as GPS or a total station(non-robotic total station).

Have you found anything using a search on the internet?

I found several references using keywords from your post.

Ian,
Most modern GPS and Total Station Data Collectors, like Trimble's TSC3 with Access, can use a DXF file for layout. Enormous DXF files can really bog down a Data Collector, so be sure to use bare minimum linework in your DXF, like wall outlines, etc...

Ian,
Here's a cut-to-the-chase video of DXF stakeout using a Trimble TSC3 with Access:

Not sure if I understand your question in its entirety, however, it sounds like I have done something similar utilizing arcGIS and the AutoCAD plug in. Link below: https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-for-autocad

Hope this helps in some way!
