05.09 Opening Additional Takeoff Windows

Last Updated: 2022-02-10 13:30

You can open up to ten Takeoff Windows for the current bid (plus one extra one where Named Views are displayed when you open them by clicking a Hot Link).

Note

Don't confuse Takeoff Windows with the Takeoff Tab. There is only one Takeoff Tab for each bid, but there can be several open Takeoff windows.

Click the new Takeoff Window button Open Addition Takeoff Window button , a new Takeoff Window is open with the same Sheet in view.

Above the Main toolbar are your Takeoff window tabs - these indicate each docked Takeoff window you've opened in the current Bid and lets you switch between them easily. You can open up to ten Takeoff windows for a Bid at any given time.

Notice that little icon on the far right - if you've opened more windows than can be shown in the toolbar, click this drop-down to see a list of all, docked Takeoff windows. Once undocked, there is no reference to a Takeoff window in the main interface.

You can undock Takeoff Windows, however one Takeoff Window always has to remain in the main application screen. When you undock a Takeoff window, its tab is undocked as well - the main screen no longer shows a Tab indicator for that undocked Takeoff Window.
