Will QuoteCam run on Microsoft Vista & XP?
Yes
I already have a CAM system, whats different about QuoteCAM?
QuoteCAM is not a CAM system, it does not produce CNC code only estimates, times and costings. Its meant to be used at the quoting stage only and of course its a fraction of the price!
Does QuoteCAM use both Metric and imperial measurments?
Yes.
Can QuoteCAM handle multiple parts on one RFQ?
Yes, in fact there is no practicle limit to the number of parts that can be contained in a single quote.
Do I need any form of CAD product or experience to use QuoteCAM?
No, QuoteCam is a fully stand alone product and does not use CAD at all.
Can I change the appearence of the printed quote?
Yes, You can set up your own template in MS Word and QuoteCAM will merge directly with it.
Why can't I see the material cost or use the analyser?
QuoteCAM protects all cost information with a password. You need to enter the correct password from the "File" menu.
I hate reading help files, is there any other form of help?
Yes, QuoteCAM ships with a large selection of instructional videos, you can find these under the "Help/Videos" menu.
I changed my burden rate from the calculator on the "Tools" menu but it did not update the system, why not?
All the calculators including the financial ones are made available for quick reference use in the Tools menu. This allows the user to get a fast answer without having to start a quote however none of the results are stored. To update your burden rate correctly use the calculator in the "Options" menu.
How do I make a different profit margin on my material than I do on the other process's?
When using the Analyser there is a box labeled "seperate material markup" tick this box and enter the required margin. |
