Trimble LM80 Desktop Software - Powerful and Easy to Use

Trimble® LM80 Desktop software is designed for the contractor using the pocket-sized Trimble LM80 Layout Manager for their layout applications. It's the ideal companion for anyone working with very large or complex drawings.

Featuring an intuitive graphical user interface, LM80 Desktop software makes it easy to create a digital replica of your construction blueprint in the office, before going out on the site to do the layout. While you are still in the office, you can use the coordinate geometry functions to perform distance, angle, area or down-and-out computations. You can also create your construction points from AutoCAD DXF or DWG files, upload them to the Trimble LM80 Layout Manager, or send them directly to a total station for onboard layout. No need to learn a complete engineering CAD program!
