Enhancements & Changes
This version of Bridge includes support for the upcoming Sage Estimating 64 bit version.
The Bridge installer will now detect and list all installed Sage Estimating versions. Based on your selection, Bridge will install the appropriate components necessary for 32 or 64 bit compatibility. If you wish to change Estimating version integration, simply uninstall Bridge, then reinstall and select the desired Sage Estimating version. Note that if you install this version of Bridge and later install the new 64 bit Estimating, you must reinstall Bridge after the Estimating install to reset the Bridge communication link to Estimating.
Sage 64 bit performance improvements
Sage 64 bit removes the 32 bit memory size limit. As a result, Bridge is now able to process larger Sage databases and also gains some performance improvements as well. In our timings, Automatic Mode processing time was reduced up to 50%.
Sage Estimating version 18.x is no longer supported.
Review Mode now allows modifying non-takeoff variables.
Users can now make changes to any manually entered Sage variables that are not sourced from a takeoff application.
User Profile detail is now stored under the AppData folder
Citrix/RDS - Path is %AppData%\eTakeoff\eTakeoffBridge.
Windows OS will resolve %AppData% to the actual path and will also include the roaming folder if required, e.g. C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\
