unable to install drawtobricscad or drawtoautocad

Post by Sim »

I don't know much about scanner but we recently bought a faro scanner for interior design + scene software. We currently use several license of autocad LT 2020 and solidworks 2019. We plan to use scene + free plugin drawtoautocad or drawtobricscad on scene. This workflow for us is simple and fit our needs. The faro teacher told us to use Asbuilt but it's a lot of money and I believe will complicate our workflow.

I tried to install both plugin + virtusurv + bricscad 2020 trial version but the plugin would not load (appload command), so I flushed the bricscad 2020 version and took the 2018. App load correctly but I get an error when picking points: see image.
I did the same with bricscad 2014 on a second pc and same error.

for autocad, I haven't been able to install the receiver (I think the autocad LT isn't supported anymore).

I opened a ticket with faro support but they seems to be very busy...I'm waiting for 2 weeks now...

so I downloaded autocad 3D 2021 trial + asbuilt trial and been able to make it works with autocad 3D, but it involve paying for autocad 3D + asbuilt at the end of the trial period.

What else could I try to make it works?? I'm out of idea

thanks

I'm no expert regarding this, but I think AutoCAD LT won't work because you can't load external plugins/applications there.

Hi Sim,
maybe you are wrong understand SCENE with drawtoautocad are difference solutions with virtusurv + bricscad 2020.

If you have SCENE you can follow this youtube and try with SCENE and your Autocad LT

Thanks but I think I've watched every videos of theses plugins
maybe the problem is I don't own a license for virtusurv, I just installed it. but on the second pc running higher version of bricscad, this software is no more needed as listed in the docs.

the only combination that work is autocad 2021 3d trial + as built trial (which also include the scene plugin)

I would really to make it work to autocad LT or bricscad, not paying for more upgrades.

I don't understand why Faro take soo long to reply (3 weeks now).
