Estimating Menu Commands

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 It has been replaced by Goldenseal construction estimating software.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.

Edit Menu

Undo -Z

Choose Undo to return to the previous value when typing in text. This command has no other action in BidMagic.

Cut -X

Choose Cut to move text or a number from one field to another. It can also be used when working with graphics on BidMagic cards (see page 411).

Copy -C

Choose Copy to move text or a number from one field to another, while still leaving it in its original field. It can also be used when working with graphics on BidMagic cards (see page 411).

Paste -V

Choose Paste to place text or graphics that were previously stored with Cut or Copy.

Clear

Choose Clear to clear the selected text or graphics.

Find -F

Choose Find to locate text in Specifications item names. This command does not work in other parts of BidMagic.
Type the text you want to locate into the Find Box which appears in the upper right corner of the card. Click on the Magnifying Glass, and keep holding the mouse button down. When an item name containing the search text is found, it will 'pop up' in a box under the appropriate subcategory on the card.

Click the Exit button to return to normal use of BidMagic.
