The updated version of QuickPen
AutoBid SheetMetal is expected to be available in November, the company said.
Trimble
said it will soon release a new version of its QuickPen AutoBid SheetMetal estimating
software.
In
addition to maintaining existing features, the new version will have the ability to
convert rectangular duct to an equivalent round duct, to compare on-screen
drawings and easily change item elevations.
”With
today’s economic conditions, contractors are looking for a competitive edge,”
said Pat Bohle, general manager of Trimble’s building construction division. “AutoBid helps them
more quickly and accurately find it. The shape conversion tool will save users
from having to manually 'red-line' drawings to convert rectangular ductwork to
round duct and then re-takeoff the drawing, ultimately resulting in time and
money savings.”
Existing
AutoBid SheetMetal users who have an annual support contract will receive a
free upgrade, officials said. Details on the software are available
