DTM files

Services application, DXF/DWG menu

You can use the DTM files menu to exchange terrain data between the Allplan exchange folder and any folder. In addition, you have the option to display the data or to delete it from the hard drive.

Depending on the backup path set in Configuration - Backup path, procedures for importing and backing up data differ slightly.

The following submenus are available:
