The CAD Import tool could be used to compare acquired COP with respects to COP data. The user must generate a COP file for the CAD data and to use it as a reference model.

In addition to displaying the image in 3D, the tool shows the metric size of the viewport, and the rotation of the object. This allows precision and reproducibility in selecting the surface region to convert.

Once selected the view to convert to COP, the conversion can start setting the resolution of the COP produced. The resolution is determined by the distance between COP points in the COP X-Y axis.
