Set Exclusive/Recalc on the Estimating Tab - there are way too many steps in re-calculating the Estimate. If you have more than one person working in the Estimate, you have to click 5 times to Set Exclusive, Re-Calc, then Remove Set Exclusive. Why can't the Calculations happen automatically upon entry? With standard PC's coming with so much memory and computing power, it seems like this could be done. I would say that the Allocations would require action, but not the calculation of financial items such as Labor Burden and Sales Tax.

  I'm learning that most functions take the long way around when there could surely be a quicker way to do things. Its a common problem with this software

  Agreed - It is very cumbersome if you are trying to print a proposal with unit price rounding out of the system!
