Yes you can. During the installation of Leica DISTO ™ transfer PC it will be checked whether you are having an AutoCAD® installation on your computer. If this is the case an AutoCAD® plugIn will be installed. This plugIn enables you to draw layouts by using the navigation keys and by transfering measurement data from the Leica DISTO ™ to the PC. If you are using the angle tracking function on the Leica DISTO ™ D8 AutoCAD® calculates the horizontal distance each time for the layout. If the measured angle is >75o the distance is interpreted as a height and the calculated vertical height is added to the drawing. When going into 3D display mode in AutoCAD® you can see the 3D layout. Please note that the transferred height is only used for the current measurement chain.
