    • Version: version of the DXF format to create.

    • Export points:

      • All: exports all points in the job.

      • Only measured: exports only points that was measured in the field with an instrument.

      • Only measured TPS: exports only points that was measured in the field with a total station.

      • Only measured GNSS: exports only points that was measured in the field with a GNSS.

      • Selected: exports only selected points. It is possible to select the points to export from point table or from CAD clicking Points to export.

    • Survey drawing: activates the export of all the drawing elements that were created during the measurement operations with Smart drawing.

    • Export 3D: activates the export of data with elevation.

    • Export layers off: enables the export of data on layer that are turned off in CAD.

    • Export as zip: if enabled, the data is compressed in a zip file, including style files.

    • Points style: selects the style of exported points.

      • Block with attributes and symbol: point is exported with its point symbol. Attributes and symbol are exported as a block.

    • Layer of labels: select the layer for the labels.

      • Pre-defined layers: the layer for the labels is on the pre-defined layer.

      • Layer of points (same for all): the layer for the labels is on the same layer for all the points.

      • Layer of point (specific): the layer for the labels is on the layer of the specific point.

    • Export sketches: activates the export of the images associated with the points. The images are linked to the points to be opened as a reference (hyperlink) from CAD software.

    • Export collaborative survey points: activates the export of measured points also by the other members of a collaborative survey session.

  • The Labels to export options allow to define which labels to export for the topographic points.

    • Point name: activates the export of the label with the point name.

    • Point elevation: activates the export of the label with the point elevation.

    • Point code: activates the export of the label with the point survey code.

    • Point description: activates the export of the label with the point description.

    • Reference station: activates the export of the label with the GNSS reference station.

    • Point coordinate: activates the export of the label with the point coordinate.

    • GIS data: activates the export of the label with the GIS attributes stored.

    • Depth: activates the export of the label with the depth value stored when working with a service locator.

  • Click Tools to save or load the export parameters. This helps to save a set of customized export parameters.
