Purchased 2 Handheld Nautiz X7 GPS units that use ArcPad 10 and ArcPad Studio. We are having issues getting the data we input out into AutoCAD Map 2011 3D correctly. We have no training or knowledge of ArcPad and are growing very impatient. The data collection software we had written for ArcPad seems to finally be working after having it "tweaked", and instead of being out in the field, the units are still in the "test" phase because ArcPad is difficult to figure out. Does anyone have any knowledge on how to get the .shp file transferred over correctly and to the proper scale so that we can actually work with the points provided?
Any help would be great and much appreciated!!!

Hello CAD-Coordinator,

Writing the Lat/Lon values to the attribute table will involve using an applet, such as 'AddXYZ to Table' found on ESRI ArcScripts (http://arcscripts.esri.com/details.asp?dbid=16785). The data schema has to be setup according to the parameters set in the script. We deal regularly with GIS to CAD conversions, as well as ArcPad customization and training. Please feel free to contact me if you need any assistance.
