I addressed this in a post a couple of years back in this thread:
I was curious if anything has changed in the meantime, so I did a quick search on the Bosch site to see if they had added any export capabilities to their Measuring Master app. As far as I can tell, the answer is no. For sure, there is no direct data transfer or CAD import to Sketch-Up, as the app seems to be intended to only be used directly on / with mobile devices (Android or iOS).
They do have a second, newer app called Measure On (with cloud based storage), that does have minimal data export capabilities — but only as .jpg, .pdf or .xls. — so again, no direct transfer or .dxf export.
Redstick looks interesting, but I hadn’t heard of it before… so no idea how well it works with SU. They claim the capabilities you require (as I’m sure you know), but the basic app at $9.99 seems too limited to be of much use — and it’s a big leap to the pro version at $249.
However their website raises a number of flags:
- there is virtually no activity on their forums and the last company posts were 2 years ago
- there hasn’t been any post on their FaceBook page in 3 years
- there is no content at all on their YouTube channel and their only two intro videos are from 2011
- there are no additions of more current LDM’s listed as compatible devices.
In sum this suggests that it is no longer being actively developed, so I would be wary.
Seems like there is still a need for a robust solution to this problem, and I have to wonder why Bosch still doesn’t seem to understand how their customers really want to use their devices.
