Can't Find Specifications!

Problem

error message: 'Can't find Specifications', or Summation, Dimensions, etc when using MacNail construction estimating softwareto create estimates

Diagnosis

The *Specs, *Summation etc commands in the MacNail menu use the absolute window position to know what is in each one. An error message may occur if windows are moved, or if one is closed.

NOTE-- This is usually only a problem in early versions of MacNail Estimating. Later versions use defined names on the worksheet rather than window position, so the only way to get the error would be to delete the defined names (possible, but less likely than moving a window).

Solution

reset window display: choose 'Reset Windows' from Format window twice.

Comments

VP: *Reset Windows is not available in Windows version, they will have to close and re-open the estimate.
