mynewchiefID42 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I found an interesting review of Leica's Disto E7100i. Has someone already tried this gadget? Does it work together with ChiefArchitect? I would be glad for more information about compatible laser distance meters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Chief has an app called "Room Planner" that will work with that Disto. There is a video floating around here that Chief made available check Youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonParsons Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I spoke with someone at the remodeler's show in Oct, and they said that it will work with all versions of Chief, starting with room planner. My question, do other Bluetooth Lasers import to Chief? This one is 100.00 cheaper than the 330i http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-GLM-100-Bluetooth-Lithium-Ion/dp/B00G5R4E1S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHI_WMA Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I have used the 7100i and the 810 from disto. Its awesome for as-builts when paired with a ipad and room planner. Small expense for a huge increase in productivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtcapa1 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Okay. I purchase the cheaper Leica Disto E7100i and downloaded the Disto Transfer software, paired the Disto with my PC/laptop. Launched the Disto transfer software and changed the pairing code's as recommended by the CA tech article, launched CA X7 running in Windows 10 and tried a simple box. Set up the internal wall to wall measurement dimensions, click on the wall I wanted to measure and move, aimed the Disto at the target wall and hit the Dist button. It immediately measured it, and I heard a beep on my laptop and the wall and dimension changed to what was displayed on the Disto window, along with a simple dialog box in CA. So far it works like a charm. Now I'm going to try installing all this on my cheapo Tablet and see if I have a field as-built measuring device that works! Very cool!

jtcapa1 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Oh. Basically this forum post has been answered. Yes the Leica Disto E7100i does indeed work with CA X7 running in Windows 10! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryceEngstrom Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Just got set up to do this myself with my new tablet. It's a minor miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtcapa1 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Let me know how the communication goes between the bluetooth and CA. Mine crapped out after about 15 mins. Not sure why yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 If your Disto goes off for non-use, you will have to re-set the room planner to Disto Bluetooth connection. I wish that when you turn on the Disto again the connection would be automatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
