Where is Leica laser meter connectivity in Autocad Mobile?

[Anonymous]

Hi what happened after the update? The Autocad mobile has gotten worse actually. I’m on the job and can not use my laser meter to input my measurements. Also layers got funny have about 4 blue layers that are dead and can’t be deleted. Really frustrating guys, please sort it out soon.

Thank you R

Hi

I understand your frustration. Currently there is no time frame known when this functionality will come back. 

Removing the Leica Disto integration was part of the AutoCAD mobile app updates middle of last year. Quoting the article it says:

"The AutoCAD mobile app is upgrading to a more robust experience with improved graphics and functionality that more closely resemble the desktop version of AutoCAD. You can still design and create drawings anytime and anywhere."

[...]

"We are constantly reviewing our app to determine whether we are doing everything we can to achieve a great result. To focus on our new technologies, we have decided to temporarily discontinue supporting some functionalities such as Plot to PDF, Leica Disto integration, GPS and non-DWG file support. This will allow us to concentrate our efforts on developing and delivering better tools for you."

Mit Ihrer Aussage bin ich überhaupt nicht zufrieden und warte sehnsüchtig auf ein weiteres Update. Sie sagen selbst, "Diese App wurde spezielle für zeichnen vor Ort und überall gekauft". Also bitte! Die Pro-App kostet Geld und das Leica Gerät auch. Ihre Werbung wies speziell auf Leica-Disto hin und jetzt kann ich das teure Gerät nicht einsetzen. Wer gibt mir das Geld zurück?

Was bringt es mir vor Ort arbeiten zu können, wenn es mich von der Entwicklung nach hinten wirft und ich kostbare Zeit verliere?!

Hi Thomas,

What solution are we supposed to accept?  You just keep copy and pasting the same information.  There are videos showing that you can connect to leica disto products dated march 2020.  I would like to see if anyone can connect there Ipad's to there disto.

Are we going to be able to connect the disto or not?  and when?

Autodesk does not pre-announce feature release dates sadly, even the ones they remove for whatever reason.

You'll have to sit on your hands like the rest of us users until the ability automagically reappears again 😞

Hey Pendean,

Unfortunately, I'm well aware I'm going to be sitting on my hands for a long time before nothing or anything happens.

😫

Autodesk has gotten so large they have forgotten about their customers or just don't give a **** anymore.

Pendean keep up the good work.  You keep us more informed than Autodesk.

Cheers and beers

Hello Rick @Anonymous 

thank you for your heads up and your input.

I understand that the situation is frustrating for you - sorry for that.

Due to the fact that I am also aware of your situation, I am providing as much information as possible and reachable for me. In some cases it is the official documentation which needs to be forwarded here. Sorry to hear that this documentation is not as complete as you wish. 

Unfortunately I am not involved in time frames or decisions from the development team and a roadmap for these features is not communicated. Due to this, no time frame can be communicated.

Another topic that might give you more information is the marked solution following: "Can not transfer measurements from disto d810 to Mobile App on Android". Contacting directly "feedback.pro@autocadmobile.com" is also a point I would suggest for your situation.

I am looking forward hearing from you Nick.

Best regards,

Thomas
