Select the data you want to send to your GPS, and click Send Selected to GPS on the GPS menu. If you’ve already set ExpertGPS to use the same coordinate format, just click OK, and your data will be converted and displayed on the map in ExpertGPS. You’ll be prompted to confirm the projection and datum used in AutoCAD. Export your data from AutoCAD in DXF format, and click Import on the File menu in ExpertGPS. Sending AutoCAD layers back to your GPSĮxpertGPS Pro can send points or lines from your CAD drawings to your GPS, so you can check their accuracy in the field.

Your waypoints will be reprojected to Northings and Eastings to match your CAD drawing’s coordinate system. At the bottom of the Export dialog, change the file type to AutoCAD. Otherwise, click on the map, and all of your waypoints and tracks will be exported. Click on the Start menu and select File Explorer b. 1) Create a folder to export the data to on the Trimble GNSS device (ie,Geo7X) a. If you only want to export waypoints to DXF, click once in the Waypoint List on the left side of the screen. do recommend using Pathfinder Office to export the data if you need it to be post processed, or if you need to specify additional GNSS metadata like precisions, correction type, etc. Connect your GPS (ExpertGPS supports hundreds of models from Garmin, Magellan, Lowrance, and others) via USB or serial cable, and click Receive from GPS on the GPS menu.

The next step is to receive the waypoints from your GPS. ExpertGPS supports lat/lon, UTM, US State Plane, and most national grid coordinate systems. Follow the directions in this tutorial on how to add a new coordinate format to ExpertGPS. The first step in exporting your GPS waypoints to AutoCAD is to set the coordinate format and datum in ExpertGPS Pro to match the coordinate system you’re using in your CAD software. Could you please explain to me how to import waypoints from ExpertGPS into an auto cad drawing by simply pasting to coordinates if possible?
