Estimating systems that fit in your hand, CAD estimating that's integral to system operation, and an updated version that has been well-received by long-time customers are al new from McCormick Systems, the estimating-software developer reports.

McCormick, (www.mccormicksys.com) a provider of estimating software for both the electrical and voice/data/video markets, offers a remote takeoff system that loads onto a handheld computer. The package now works with both the Palm and Pocket PC operating systems.

Additionally, McCormick's CAD Estimating interface is now compatible with AutoCAD 2004. A new feature allows counting of only a building's section (or just part of a floor), providing job-costing assistance.

Finally, McCormick also has released Version 7.1 of its Windows software. A regular update, it allows easy editing to correct errors and accommodate last-minute specification changes, thereby saving time.
