Leica CloudWorx for AutoCAD v2026.1.0

Leica CloudWorx for AutoCAD v2026.1.0: Point Cloud Plugin

CloudWorx 2026.1.0 is the latest version of Leica Geosystems' point cloud plugin for AutoCAD, enabling direct work with large datasets within Autodesk CAD environments . This release focuses on enhanced pipe extraction, migration to Hexagon GeoCloud, and expanded CAD platform support .

Key New Features in v2026.1.0

Enhanced Find Pipes Tool

The Find Pipes tool has been significantly improved to extract more complete pipe run representations. In addition to straight segments and elbows, the tool now supports the extraction of pipe reducers and branches from classified point clouds .

• Pipe Type Filters: Users can include or exclude reducers and branches as needed (straight segments and elbows are always included in detected runs)

• Improved Efficiency: Results in more complete pipe run representations and enhanced modeling productivity

Cyclone ENTERPRISE Connection Discontinued

Starting with this release, the Cyclone ENTERPRISE connection has been discontinued. As a result, Cyclone ENTERPRISE projects are no longer accessible from CloudWorx .

Automatic LGS File Conversion Discontinued

CloudWorx no longer supports automatic LGS-to-LGSx conversion when importing LGS files. Use the official LGS-to-LGSx converter before loading files into CloudWorx .

Removal of Unused Distance Units

The Distance Units drop-down list has been updated to remove rarely used options, including :

• Inches (U.S. Survey)

• Yards (U.S. Survey)

• Custom units

Compatibility Updates

Supported CAD Versions :

• AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Plant 3D, and Map 3D 2024–2027

Cloud & Data Compatibility:

• Compatible with Hexagon GeoCloud

• E57 files exported from Cyclone 3DR 2026.0 can now be imported correctly

Deprecated Features
