Formulas Changed by Move Prices

Problem

calculated formulas are changed by the 'move prices' command, when updating prices in MacNail construction estimating software

Diagnosis

'move prices' DOES replace calculated cost formulas in Specs line items, if the titles/formulas option is turned on. It uses the skilled wage and labor/material modifiers to rebuild the calculated formulas.

This is not specifically mentioned in the manual.

Solution

Users really shouldn't modify calculated cost formulas in Specs, except with the Specs Formulas command.
