Software Update: Electrical Bid Manager v10 Build 06.21.16 Released!

By Derrick Delliquadri | June 28, 2016 |
Electrical Estimating - Quick Branch Takeoff Module

In June 2016, we released an update for our electrical estimating software that added a new takeoff module called Quick Branch. This new takeoff module in Electrical Bid Manager™ eliminates a takeoff step and is a real time saver.

All Electrical Bid Manager customers that are current on the Extended Service Plan received this update.

Added Features - Build 06.21.16

  • QuickBranch Takeoff - Allows quick selection and takeoff of device assemblies combined with conduit/wire, or cable runs of any length from your Saved Assemblies in Branch Circuits and Cable modules. View a video of this new feature.
  • New MC Luminary Cable - Lighting and low voltage circuits in one cable. Pricing updated with EPIC Pricing.
  • New program "Themes" gives EBM a new look! Find this setting in Program Settings screen on the Appearance tab.
  • Ability to take off empty conduit with pull line in one step with conduit take-off in Site and Feeders.
  • New database items and updated item UPCs and descriptions.
  • Various modifications to PlanSwift integration for improved functionality.
  • Clear button to remove unwanted items from the Import Spreadsheet. (PlanSwift link only)

Fixed Features - Build 06.21.16

  • Advanced Substitution bugs; Converting to Cable would use the incorrect Saved Assembly. After converting to Cable, the resultant entries in the audit trail could not be edited.
  • Digitizing item on a different page would return to the spreadsheet instead of item takeoff (PlanSwift link only).
  • Feeders and Site From/To taken off from OST not showing in audit trail.
  • “Edit to Source” Custom Assemblies not recalling “Additional Items”.
