Importing takeoff grid files

Note: This functionality is available only if you have the Estimating Module.

Important! Before importing a file from other software you must create a compatible comma delimited or comma-quote file using a spreadsheet program, word processing program, or other software.

To import a takeoff grid file:

1 In the Sage 100 Contractor main menu tree, double-click 9-5 Takeoffs.
2 In the Takeoff Launch window, double-click a job to launch a takeoff.
3 In the Bid Item list, click the bid item.
4 In the Phase list, click the phase.
5 On the Import menu, click Grid File.
6 Select the grid file that you want to import, and click OK.

Note: When you import a grid file, the new content inserts at the cursor and does not overwrite the existing content.
