| 26 | Cad3d can currently output DXF or Sketch files for import into CAD packages. |
|---|
| 27 | It can also produce Compass .plt files, which are primarily intended for |
|---|
| 28 | importing into Carto, but can also be used with Compass itself. |

| 31 | <Para>An alternative to cad3d is SpeleoGen, which can be found in the |
|---|
| 32 | "Related Tools" section of the Survex web site. <!--FIXME: url--> |
|---|
| 33 | SpeleoGen is a Windows (3.1/95/NT) utility which reads in |
|---|
| 34 | &survexsuite; &x3d; files, LRUD passage wall data (in <filename/.cav/ format) |
|---|
| 35 | and surface topography info in <filename/.csv/ format. The results are |
|---|
| 36 | combined, displayed, and saved out as a DXF file for import into |
|---|
| 37 | CAD or drawing packages. |
