Topcon’s latest eXchange software add-on for AutoCAD Civil 3D civil engineering design software converts data into files compatible with Topcon 3D construction solutions as well as the MAGNET software system.

The add-on even converts complex road designs with defined corridors into 342 Topcon standard file formats, such as MJF (MAGNET Field job) for land surveying and construction layout, and TP3 (3D Topcon Project File) for machine control systems.

After installation, users are offered the ability to log in to their own private and secure cloud-based company account from within Civil 3D, providing access to all of the project-related data that they have stored in MAGNET Enterprise.

The Topcon eXchange add-on is designed to provide a workflow for office staff to export original 3D design data for upload to the Topcon cloud. Topcon eXchange bridges the geocentric data between Autodesk’s Civil 3D and Topcon mobile workforce applications,” said Hallett.
