Cubit Estimating Release 2022.1
New Function
Auto-lock for Trades
You can now start working in Shared access mode and Cubit Estimating will automatically lock any relevant trades to your user account. This creates a more natural approach to your estimating workflow.
The following list shows some of the actions that will trigger the Autolock feature;
- Drawing or modifying a shape
- Creating or modifying a line item or heading
- Inserting from a Pricelist or Template
- Dropping a shape onto a line item from the Viewport
- Modifying a Calculation Sheet or Rate Sheet item
- Changing values in the details pane or shapes pane
- Adding a flag to an item
You will be prompted if a trade has been locked by another user.
You will still be required to manually unlock a trade when you have completed working.
You can also release all of your locked trades by exiting the job.
