Import data from Leica Cyclone to ArcGIS

[JohnWall]

I am trying to better understand the workflow for importing point clouds from Leica Cyclone (v. 5.1) to ArcGIS (v. 10.2.2). Within Cyclone, I understand that I can set the XYZ of a location below the lidar scanning unit. Following the acquisition of a number of scans, I can tie them all together. Once I have a merged point cloud, I will have a PTS/PTX file which I can then convert to LAS using this LAStools (Pointzip: Compressing Leica's Cyclone PTS and PTX files with LASzip) tool. However, it is unclear to me how I can project this data into a projected coordinate system like UTM Zone 17N. How is this possible? Is this done within ArcGIS or Cyclone?

I think it is too late to answer this question.....any how

In Cyclone when you are doing registration of scan (combining all scans), you may also add coordinate file for target in projected coordinates and set this file as home scan. this will make all data to UTM coordinates. than export to PTX/PTS etc.
