THAT’S HOW CADESTIMATOR WORKS

With CADESTIMATOR you select any assembly and draw with your mouse.  Anytime you click back on that assembly, its picture and graphics appear. You can modify the graphics and update the  values in the assembly at any time without having to do anything over again.

It’s much easier than using a digitizer. You can see a complete image of the blueprint with the red-lining on it. It makes material takeoffs fast and easy.
