1.24. Is it possible to work in metric measurements instead of inches?

Is it possible to work in meter-scale instead of inch?
I can´t find any settings for that change in EstiMate, and here in my country we are used to working with 10-scale systems such as mm, cm, dm, M and so on.

Yes, EstiMate will work with metric systems. The solution is to re-install EstiMate again from your CD or download file. Do a complete install, and be on the lookout for a screen that asks you to select mm or inches. Select Millimeters and proceed with the remainder of the install. When EstiMate asks if you want to overwrite existing data files say 'Yes' to the prompt. EstiMate will overite the existing inches based data and install new metric based data. You may have to re-enter your shop data and setup info again as EstiMate will overrite it using this method.

EstiMate will now price using metric measurements.

Just a short note to tell you our experience with Estimate. It is everything that is advertised and more. We installed the program,with ease, in Janurary, 2004 and the biggest plus we have seen is our greatly improved bottom line. I keep track of supplies purchased that go directly to our sales. That number compared to gross sales has gone down by over 10%. The program has taken us from the SWAG system to a consistent quoting system. Our staff has been trained with the Tutorials and they now have confidence in their quotes. Our estimates/jobs is at the 60% level and that is a improvement. Our customers like the professional way the quotes come to them and they approve and returrn the estimate, usually at a higher price than before we had EstiMate. Again thank you for introducing us to EstiMate. David Kimmel
