How to extract real scaled section profiles from CAD and scan data in

Rapidform XOV2

In Rapidform XOV2, you can obtain many inspection results from your measurements, such

as whole deviation map, section profiles GD&T etc during the inspection process. However

these results will be recorded as captured images. In case you want to print out sections in

real scale, you can export the sections in DXF file format and print them in many CAD

programs with scale option.

Method:

First of all, you can create a section profile from CAD and scan data using a reference plane

as shown in fig. 1. (Insert -> Section)

To export the section, right mouse click on the Section entry in the feature tree and select

Export from the dropdown menu, or choose Export from File menu and then select the

Section you want to export. Make sure that geometry field is checked.

Click OK.
