]]> In XOV, you can obtain several types of inspection results, such as deviation maps, section profiles, etc. during the inspection process. However, the results will be recorded as captured images. If, instead, you want to print out sections at their true scale, you can export them via the *.dxf file format.

Method:
First of all, you can create a section profile from the CAD and Scan data using a Ref. Plane, as shown in the image below. (Design > Section)

Choose File > Export in the menu, then select both the CAD and Scan sections, as shown in the image below.

Click the OK button, then select AutoCAD DXF (dxf file format) as the saving file type. Check “2D section” in the “Export Section As” option at the bottom, as in the image below.

Import the file into AutoCAD, and you can make a draft or print it out with the scale option.
