Tradition has it that if you use a spreadsheetsystem, when it comes to take-off youimmediately go back to dim paper, pencil andcalculator. Without any real alternative it’s thebest solution for the job, but it’s open to all sortsof errors both in taking-off and calculation andit’s so SLOOOOW.Mindful of the time and effort wasted in goingback to paper, Visual Precision have designedDimSheet-PRO™ to add the taking-offfunctionality desperately needed for so long incurrent spreadsheet systems.

So How Does it Work?It’s very easy really. Imagine you’re working inan Excel™ spreadsheet and need to enter aquantity in a cell. With DimSheet-PRO™installed, rather than getting out a pen andpaper, a simple click on a launch button willimmediately give you your own on-screen dimpaper to use with all the normal facilities youwould expect from a leading edge taking-offsystem. Answers from dim sheets areautomatically transferred back into the requiredspreadsheet cell and links are fully dynamic, soyou can at any time call your take-off backagain and make changes to it.

this we’ve empowered the system with evenmore. More features, more functions for moreproductivity....like on-the-fly rounding, dynamiclinked sidecasts and waste calcs and multipleand-ons, so key dimension changes can bemade in seconds not minutes and hours withchanges rippling through your take-offautomatically.
