DISTO D1 120ft Laser Distance Measure with Bluetooth 4.0, Black/Red

Cuts your work in half

It’s nice that it works with xactimate.

Great product especially if you use Xactimate mobile. Lightweight and accurate.

Muy bueno

Por el precio es buen medidor láser. Sin embargo, la falta de opción entre elegir la base o la parte superior del medidor es un problema para mediciones cortas (Ya que, al hacerlo siempre desde la base, quita margen para mediciones pequeñas), en especial si usas la app para trasladar las medidas, debido a que no puedes amañar el apunte dentro de la misma.

I have been trying to find a way to do existing measurements with a laser measurer and put them directly into a cad program. I first tried the Bosch GLM 50C which could send dimensions to Floor Plan Creator which could then export the file as a DFX file. Floor Plan creator is a challenge to do existing plans with. Next the DFX file doesn't convert directly to a DWG plan. It has to be resized to the right scale and then traced.Searching the Chief Architect site it says two of the expensive Disto measurers would work. It wasn't clear if this inexpensive Bluetooth measurer could be used with Home Designer. Further down the page it says there is a program, Disto transfer PC. It took some effort to figure it out, but it does work well. Choose to transfer lengths in decimal format instead of feet and inches as Home Designer doesn't like the fractional inch format from the Disto.There is also a Sketch Plan app that can export a DWG file. I think this will work too, but haven't tried it enough yet to know.

A real time saver able to measure for base molding without a helper. Very accurate every time.

Seems pretty accurate, the bluetooth function seems wonky and can't tell when it's going to sync or not.Biggest pain is the batteries being ejected from the D1, all the time. It's like they don't fit, and the terminals push them out, knocking the battery cover off. I will have to duct tape this closed to use it.
