Leica's Data Disto

Leica is the manufacturer of the Data Disto.

Disto Plus SketchRight™ makes it easy to create CAD-accurate drawings in the field. Whether you're an architect, office or space planner, or a mobile professional who creates measured sketches, Disto Plus SketchRight™ provides precision drawing capability on any Windows penpad or laptop computer without the complexity of CAD software

Saves Time and Money

In general, one day of field measuring needs 2 days of CAD work to create a fully dimensioned, scaled drawing. With Disto Plus SketchRight™, your draft sketches and field notes become the fully-dimensioned product. By eliminating unnecessary steps, you can drastically reduce the post-field work required to create your final drawing.

Use Custom Symbols

Specialized symbols are instantly accessible from the custom library. Or create measured drawings in the field as a front-end to your desktop CAD system. Either way, you save time, effort, and money.

WINDOWS, CAD Compatible

Disto Plus SketchRight™ runs under the popular WINDOWS environment, and you're assured of compatibility with your desktop CAD investment.

Specifications

Drawing and Text Objects

Draw freehand with automatic shape recognition or use the standard drawing toolbar: Point, Line, Circle, Arc, Drag lines into arcs, Polygon, Rectangle, Ink, Symbols. Line/Fill Attributes: weight, style, color, pattern. Global Text: Font type, style, size, and color. Show/hide text. Attach text to drawing objects.

Intelligent Geometry-Checking

Drawings are automatically checked for consistent dimensions with visual feedback. The software ensures that layouts will "close" because SketchRight™ is based on patented Constructive Variational Geometry (CVG) software.

Drawing Constraints

Length, Angle, Point-on-line/arc/circle, Same point, Origin/Coordinates, Distance between 2 points, point-and-line, or any two objects, Snap-to-vertical/horizontal, Tangency, Grid size, Grid snap on/off, Lock/Unlock or Show/Hide constraints

Editing

Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, Zoom, Pan, Drag/Resize, Bring-to-front/Send-to-Back, Undo/Redo five levels, Objects can be "Active" or "Inactive" - e.g. existing CAD drawings can be imported as a background for "red-lining" with editable objects.

Units

Metric or English, with fractions; Degrees/Radians; Square Feet/Meters

Symbols

Create custom symbols in SketchRight™, or import symbol libraries via DXF transfer. Drag and drop symbols from the symbol palette into the drawing, preserving the symbols' exact scale! Precise symbol placement the DISTO measurements you take automatically SNAP

Printing

Print to scale or fit to page. Use Windows-compatible printers and plotters.

Drawing Measurements/Data Entry

Area (complex polygons, arcs, excluded sub-areas...) Perimeter, Line length, Coordinates, Angle, Radius, Point-to Point/Line Distance, Perpendicular distance, Lock/unlock or Show/hide any dimension. Enter measurement data using DISTO , the keyboard, on-screen keypad, or handwriting recognition (with PenWindows).

DATA DISTO Integration

The DATA version of the DISTO plugs right into your portable computer, using a serial cable. Interface driver software is automatically installed along with SketchRight™ for automatic data transfer from the DISTO to SketchRight™ drawings.

	Pentium class CPU with an available serial port or an adapter
	Windows 95 or later
	Disk Space: 2MB, plus symbol libraries as needed
	A Windows pointing device: pen, mouse, tablet, trackball...
