DISTO™ transfer PC
General purposes
DISTO™ transfer for PC follows following purposes
1. Receiving data from a Leica DISTO™ and forward it to current cursor position.
E.g. running in the background put the cursor to an Excel cell to input data but
instead of typing data on keyboard just send them via Bluetooth® interface
2. Use DISTO™ transfer as a Plugin for AutoCAD (version from 2004) or BricsCAD
(version from 9.3.5) to directly draw a plan in the system.
 Make sure the DISTO™ transfer has been installed after your CAD installation or manually start the DISTO™
transfer before using it as a Plugin
 To start the Plugin for Autocad® and Bricscad you have to start the corresponding CAD software and write the
command „leicadisto“ in the command field. If Leica DISTO™ transfer is not already open it will be opened now
automatically.
 Click in the drawing area and start transferring distances. If you transfer distance and inclination the horizontal
distance will be calculated and used in drawings.
 If the inclination is more than 75° it will be interpreted as a vertical distance and used as a height. Only one
height can be entered per layout (change to 3D view to see the three dimensional drawing).
