Buildsoft has released a new update for Cubit, with version 10.1.1.0. See details of the enhancements, improvements and fixes included in the release below.

Enhancements

Windows and Doors

Autocount

The Autocount function is set to Manual Selection by default. If you select an Item in your Estimate with a Window Count or Door Count Result result type selected, the window or door will be inserted into that Item that is selected.

If the Item in your Estimate doesn’t have a result type set to Windows Count or Door Count, Autocount will prompt you to insert the window or door item into an appropriate Trade.

Other Improvements

Windows and doors have been improved so that when you select a window or door in the Viewport, the corresponding item in the Calculation Sheet will be selected.

Your door/window openings in the Openings Library window are now displayed in a natural sort order, meaning alphabetical order, except that multi-digit numbers are treated as if they were a single character. This should make it easier to read and organise your list of openings.

Improvements

  • If you open a job in read-only mode, the Ruler tool can be used to set the Size and Colour of the ruler line in the Viewport.
  • If you import information from an Excel document, rows with only information in the Description column will be included when the Skip empty rows checkbox is selected.
  • The Cubit Select buttons within Cubit Estimating will now send you to cubitselect.com instead of redirecting you from the old mybartender.co website.
  • The Auto Select tool should now work better for round shapes.
  • You now have an option to Clear and Restore when you are restoring a database backup file via the Cubit Estimating Management Console.
  • A new setting, Return to previous selection when closing Find, has been added into the Cubit Estimating Options. This option will be enabled by default
