Renaming Estimating Subcategories

NOTE-- We retired the BidMagic construction estimating software in 2001. It has been replaced by Goldenseal construction estimating software.

We still include this BidMagic estimating software manual as a convenience for users of our older program. Many features are similar, in Goldenseal estimating.

You can customize the appearance of the BidMagic construction estimating software, by renaming construction subcategories or changing the graphics

  1. Hold down the Option key while you click on any subcategory heading.
