About CADEST
Digitizing tablets are not the answer because they are expensive, cumbersome and take up a lot of desk space. But what is worse about digitizing tablets is that you can’t see what you missed. They don’t work with the actual image of a blueprint on your computer screen. You have to look back and forth from the blueprint itself and the computer screen to see what was taken off. Anyone who has done any amount of construction estimating knows that while waste factors are important. Print out visual material lists that make it easy for anyone to properly place material. A good looking cover page for your construction estimating documents helps you sell a job. You can place multiple pictures, logos and text boxes any place on the page. It works great with the rendering and special effects you can create with CAD Estimating.
