Using the "Lock view" tool along with these shortcuts will streamline your workflow, making it easier to add titles quickly and efficiently.
This is particularly helpful when you have lots of drawings in your discipline that you want to add titles to.

General
  • Fixed an issue where drawings with a particular text layout could fail to import
Takeoff
  • Fixed an intermittent issue with slow output downloading
We improved the location of the delete button for Projects, Takeoffs, Estimates and Specification comparisons.
We made this change because when deleting something, we tended to find ourselves (and heard the same from customers) looking for the delete button up one level at the listing screen, rather than drilled down into the item itself.
Deleting now is done directly from the pages they’re listed on—like this:
  1. Click the 3 dots on the right hand side of the title
  2. Click "Delete..."
  3. Confirm deletion

This means deleting & managing your content is now quicker, easier and more intuitive.
We have added a popup warning to protect against accidental deletion in Takeoff.
To bypass this warning, hold
Shift
when clicking the trash icon.
