Align Plan:
Sometimes you would see the plans are a bit off and not properly aligned above each other. In such a case, you can use the Align Option to overlap the plans correctly.
Note: The different colours of the take-off will be displayed on Vector plan types only. In Raster plan types the take-off will be displayed in Grey colour.

Comments
The main restriction that you don't mention is the inability of Cubit to revise from one .dwg to another.
Hello Mike,
There is no restriction with revising DWG plans that we are aware of.
Request you to share more information along with the sample plans to support@buildsoft.com.au if are experiencing any such problems when revising.
You mention to amend the takeoffs ( if needed), yet you have no instruction on how to do this.
Hello Bernice,
We have detailed the steps to edit the shapes in separate articles.
I have now added references to those articles for your help. Please check.
Can we align TIFF drawings in different job revisions?
This How-to Guide is way out of date! I'm on Cubit Build 11.
Even the built-in User Guide bears no relationship to the Menus in Build 11.
How long before you catch up?
Hi Mike,
By itself you are correct, this article is out of date.
There is an article on the new Job Revision function which this is used in conjunction with.
This can be found at the link below.
