Select the points to plot. These may be Waypoints, Route points or Track points. DO NOT select a Route Header.
Start AutoCAD and begin a drawing. (it does not have to be a blank drawing - it can be an existing drawing).
Return to GPS2CAD and click Plot Lines or one of the Menu items: Plot Lines, Plot Points, or Plot Blocks
Return to AutoCAD to view the items
A few notes about the items plotted:
Lines are not plotted in 3D. Points and blocks may be plotted in 3D depending on the setting in preferences. Default is 3D
Plot Lines - This plots an AutoCAD Lightweight Polyline. Note that this is different than the "Real Time" plotting, which uses regular lines. Lightweight polylines do not have an elevation attribute for each vertex - that's why they're "Lightweight", and also why they are not inserted in "3D".
Plot Points - plots an AutoCAD Point (also known as nodes). MAKE SURE you have your AutoCAD settings so the points are visible. If you're not sure, set PDMode = 32 to display points as a Circle, and set the PDSIZE = something greater than zero. These can be set from the ACAD command line by typing PDMODE, enter or PDSIZE, enter
Plot Blocks - this uses a block with Attributes to display the point information shown in the Grid. Blocks take a long time to plot, and add a lot of clutter to the drawing, so use them sparingly
