CloudCompare forum

Hi Daniel! Long-time user, first-time forum poster :)

In the newest release (2.10.beta) I wanted to save a point cloud as a PTS file. I selected ASCII and chose the PTS option in the wizard, but the file saved was a text file (.txt). Is there something I'm missing? Thanks!

Have you explicitly set the filename extension or have you let CloudCompare do it?

I just named it one word, I didn't add a ".pts"
Is that the fix?

Indeed, PTS is not the default extension for ASCII files... So CC will add the default one if you don't add one yourself.

Perfect! Thanks for the help, and sorry for the novice question ;)
