This article applies to MeasureSquare 8 versions

Warning: When using the Sell by feature (box, piece, roll, pail etc.), your numbers will be rounded to the nearest whole number. Estimate data may be affected and should be checked carefully.  Additionally the bid template pulls pricing information from the Cost Price field only.

Step 1: Click on the drop down below the  Estimate button > select  Create Bid > Name your file and save it 

Step 2: To load new data into the Bid Template: Click on  File on the top left >  Export MeasureSquare Report > Name your XML file and save it 

Step 3: Go back to your Bid template > Click (clear data if new project) Load MeasureSquare Data to bring in the new data.

Load MeasureSquare Data: Allows user to select a MeasureSquare Bid file from their PC that is in XML format and bring in the data to the Bid Template

Pro Tip: Keep a blank Bid Template saved. Load new project data into the blank Bid, then do a "Save As" to save this file on it's own and leaving the blank file intact.
