PointCab results in AutoCAD

This video tutorial shows how you can efficiently use PointCab ortho photos in all AutoCAD versions. The ortho photos were automatically generated with the laser scanning software PointCab. PointCab extracts relevant information from a point cloud to create an easy-to-use ortho photo. The ortho photo is generated in less than a minute for each laser scanner position (point cloud), and it will only take a few seconds to import it into your existing AutoCAD version (e.g. AutoCAD 2000, AutoCAD 2004, AutoCAD 2007, AutoCAD 2010, AutoCAD 2011, AutoCAD 2012).
