The 4.0.7 Release included Improvements and Bug fixes. The purpose of this release is to continue the development and provide product replacement for Legacy SheetMetal and Fabshop products.
Improvements and New Features
New QS Duct Summary Template with a Detail Tab
The new QS Duct Summary template will have a new look. The template also contains a Detail tab to allow you to sort and view your items.
Added a process to backup all excel templates when an update is installed
With the above new template we wanted to make sure we backed up the existing template in case users had not copied and renamed the template. This will ensure updates never overwrite the users customized templates. You should find your backed up template in the Quotesoft\Ductserver\Templates\Backup directory. Before moving out into the Templates directory please call support to get assistance in updating and renaming the Template.
Added the ability to export and import a single Catalog
Within the Catalog navigation tree (left side) you can right click and export a single catalog to be imported on another Quotesoft Duct database.
Added an Item List tab to the Quick Totals Takeoff export report
When the Quick Totals export is used in takeoff, the excel sheet created will have a second tab (at the bottom) that includes the Items in the Quick Total selection
Added the Rectangular Tap on Round Pipe fitting
Text
Provided the per gauge costing setup for round pressure files
Text
Added the Extended Summary report to Static Reports
Recreated the Legacy SheetMetal Extended Summary report for the static reports templates
Added some protection to Assembly use in Takeoff
Due to limitations with how Assemblies are created we had to limit some of the use of Assemblies.
- Do not allow adding Assemblies into other Assemblies
- Do not allow editing the Assembly name after it is used
- Do not allow removing items or adding items to Assemblies after they are created and used
Include the Component weights from the Data File in item total weight calculations
The component weights are now included in item total weight calculations. Components now included are:
- Liner
- Wrap
- Hangers
- Joints
- Angles
- Rods
- Turning Vanes
Include sorts, groups, and filters in Audit Trail exports
We were not exporting to excel the filters and groups that were in place on the Audit Trail in takeoff. Now you should only see the items in view in your Takeoff Audit Trail when exported.
