Poll: what should we build next for BidScreen XL?
Mark SchwabStaff@markschwab
We went back through years of BidScreen XL support emails and the wish list our team has kept since the early days. The same handful of requests keep coming up from estimators who use it every day.
We can't build all of them at once, so we want you to pick. Vote for the one that would save you the most time on your next bid. You can change your vote until the poll closes.
A few notes on the choices:
- Sharper PDF display: plans that look as crisp in BidScreen as they do in Adobe or Bluebeam.
- Live measurements on the plan: see the running length or area as you draw, not just on the printout.
- Shape tools that stay on: draw rectangle, circle and arc stay selected until you turn them off, so you don't re-click for every shape.
- Sheet naming and addendums: name pages from the title block in one pass, and move an existing takeoff onto a revised addendum sheet.
- Plans on SharePoint, OneDrive or Dropbox: open and relink drawings from shared folders without broken links.
- Search and count with OCR: find words like "paint" on the plans and have repeated symbols counted for you.
Something you need that isn't on the list? Reply below and tell us what it is and how you'd use it.
