Auto Oversize
This option automatically allows oversize parts to be split into different sheets, without user intervention.
Automatically Backup the job at key points
With this option checked, the job will be backed up at critical points. The file that is created can be used if the system halts during the next run through the job. This safeguard will become active the next time that our software is run.
Carry Over Duct Sizes - First End only
This allows the next item entered in estimating to inherit one dimension from the previous entered part.
Enter Imperial Dims in (ft)
This option allows the user to enter dimensions in imperial form but instead of entering in inches it allows the user to enter in feet.
Estimated Dimensions
This option allows the user to enter one dimension and a common rule in estimating to speed up entry times. For example, for a reducer, one end could be entered and the other end set as a rule such as "80% of the original value entered".
Takeoff Product Lists by Dimension
This option allows product lists to be sorted by dimensions rather than by part names.
Use Automatic Drawing/Estimate Numbers
This option allows the program to allocate a number derived from the original drawing to an estimated job, instead of the default unique numbering system usually applied to estimating jobs.
