Takeoff Functions

The Takeoff Toolbar buttons correspond to the same items in the pull-down menus and provide shortcuts in performing functions. These functions are used in Takeoff File Maintenance.

To make selections, you may either use the pull-down menus or the Toolbar buttons. To make a selection from a pull-down menu highlight the option (using either a mouse or the PowerPad's arrow keys) and click with the mouse primary button or press Enter on the PowerPad.

If the Esti-Sketch plug-in is installed on your system, an additional pull-down menu is available, Sketch. See the Esti-Sketch F800 Program Manual for information about that program.
