About eTakeoff Dimension commands

When Sage Estimating is integrated with eTakeoff Dimension, you can link an estimate item's Takeoff Quantity cell to a measurement in Dimension. A linked quantity maintains a connection between the estimate item and the source measurement so you can return to the measurement, review available quantities, and refresh quantities in the estimate if the takeoff changes.

You use the eTakeoff Dimension commands in Sage Estimating to create links to Dimension measurements, review those links, and update linked quantities.
