Export Hierarchy
There are a number of things to consider that all affect the results that are output from WinCan VX during the export process, and they are almost all handled automatically in the background during the data exchange routine without any user options available to the user.
...
At the end of this export process, every asset has an inspection record exported into the data regardless of whether it was inspected by the contractor during this package of work or not.

Creating HADDMS Exports
The files that are produced by the HADDMS export routine are described in the next section, but are essentially only the files required by HADDMS for upload and a .dxf file. The important part about this is that any other deliverables that your client may like to receive have to be created separately from the export routine.
...
When the process has finished, you maybe presented with some warnings, but provided the final message says that the ‘Process has been finished’, then you are good to go, and clicking on the folder icon to the right will take you straight to the export file folder ([Project Folder] → Misc → Exchange → [Project Name]_Date_Time and the folder containing the export files will be named [Project Name]_DDMS_CD535. Inside here, you will find the export files as described:

Understanding the Outputs
The HADDMS export routine creates two files for each catchment in the project and this is exactly the reason why it is essential to keep a solid grip on the job data within the WinCan project at all times during data processing and site analysis:
A zipped folder containing all of the HADDMS data files for upload including the inspection photos, shapefiles and observation .dbf file. You can try to upload this file to HADDMS and if the data is good, then it will be approved.
A .dxf file containing the shape geometry of the project including attribute data, but without any significant layer styling. This is not a HADDMS deliverable which is why it is saved outside of the .zip file, but it creates a geometrically correct representation of the data that is being uploaded in a generic layered CAD file from where the user can style and design their own CAD files for delivery to the area client.
