Okay, maybe I'll check that once I get a lot more points, but for now this works.

I implemented a first template that generates a DXF file. The aim is just to demonstrate the power of the FreeMarker template library within JAG3D. Maybe it is helpful for your investigations.

Still, thanks for you replies, you helped a lot.

Is there any option that can export to CAD software that I missed?

No, not yet. However, the formatted HTML report bases on a freemarker-template. A DXF file for CAD application would be possible with a customized template. To get a better picture, this simple template generates a text file with coordinates as a coordinate list. So, in general it is possible...

I am just playing around in CAD to figure out the angles and other values that have geometric meaning. I usually use html report and copy paste values as I have only 4 points. I know there are export options, although I haven't found any that enables rotation angles to be exported. Is there any option that can export to CAD software that I missed?

Thanks for all the replies.

So standard deviations are 68% confidence level, but drawing an ellipsoid using those values would "degrade" my confidence level to about 20%?

Assuming a normal distribution, the standard deviation of each parameter considered in isolation relates to a confidence level of about 68 %. However, the confidence level is reduced if more than one parameter is considered at the same time. Thus, the standard deviation of an isolated considered x-component relates to confidence level of about 68 %, and the standard deviation of an isolated considered y-component relates to confidence level of about 68 % and so on. However, the question is how large is the conditional probability that both, x and y, lie within a confidence region. Obviously, there are four cases (with different probabilities of occurrence)

• both are outside
  
• x is inside a region, but not y
  
• y is inside a region, but not x
  
• both are inside a region

Let us assume that a single parameter (x or y) lies within the 68 % confidence interval, then in three out of four cases there is a confidence region in which both parameters do not lie simultaneously - the conditional confidence level must be less than 68 %.

So I need to scale it in order to be at 95%.

Yes.

Just a question: Do you implement a specific method to transfer/import the adjustment results to a CAD software? What is your strategy (do you use the values from the HTML-report)?

Kind regards
