AGTEK Model to ConX Export Story step 1
We currently have an export specifically for Leica Machine control which is a DXF file with certain trimesh parameters. This story simply expands this export using the same pattern we use for AGTEK Access.
The steps are:
- Open the desired AGTEK model file in Sitework/Gradework.
- Select Export - Leica iCON (.dxf)
* A save dialog for naming appears and then the export screen shown below. It is very similar to existing AGTEK DWG/DXF/KMZ/ADF interfaces. It differs slightly in contents and options and this Leica export is one specified by Leica as optimal for their machine control.
The new option here is the Upload to ConX in the lower right corner which is similar in function to our Upload to Access.
- With Upload to ConX set to Yes the unique part of the interface appears. With ConX the user has to:
- login/authenticate (can we cache the tokens/values)
- Select the project
- choose the unit and/or machine type. For example you might send a machine file to all the excavators or just a single named dozer. (A tree control with checkboxes organized by type then individual units might be an appropriate method.
- Press Upload and Assign to start the uploading.
ConX website upload method
FYI, when uploading manually from the ConX website they specify the data type and unit type (dozer, blade, field - survey). For our purposes uploading a DXF file we're likely safe specifying “Reference model” (I will confirm).
There's also a specification by machine type but that might be better represented by the tree referenced above.

Have SmartGrade save a Leica Localization file. Upload to ConX? probably
