With our manufacturer’s parts database, you can choose exactly what you want, select any occurrences of that part on the drawing, and the software will give you an instant list of how many items there are, with the cost included.
The software is intuitive and incredibly easy to use and you can alter the scale to suit, change the view by removing layers so you can see individual parts more clearly, zoom in and out with the mouse wheel, mark up the drawing with text, and even use it as a basic design tool.
The time and money-saving possibilities really are endless with this amazing piece of electrical take-off software, and there’s no longer any need to print and transport large drawings to do your job.
