6 Replies and 33095 Views XCX and ESX data file transfer questions?????  33095  6 Started by  Slamm I just installed version 24.12 and when I go to data transfer and send a file out to one of my computer folders, instead of it being an ESX file, it is an unreadable XCX file. Therefore, when I send such an XCX file as an attachment in an email, the recipiant can't open my XCX file, because it is not an ESX file.  The recipiant also has the newer 24.12 version. Why is this 24.12 version reproducing theses files in an XCX format and not the ESX format What am I doing wrong Thanks ...

22 Replies and 22238 Views Let's start a list of items missing from Xactimate  22238  22 Started by  Leland
(Topic has multiple pages1 2 )
Let's start a list of items missing from Xactimate. If Xactimate people check this website they can use our list to improve the software. If not, someone can forward the list. For the first item i would like to suggest: 1) Sheet metal enclosures for water heaters. (These are the galvanized metal boxes on the outside of the house that enclose water heaters.) I have two claims with this item needing replacement and as far as I can tell it is not in Xactimate. Many, many houses have this item. ...

5 Replies and 3985 Views xmate & grummon aircraft  3985  5 Started by  Ray Hall Seems two large for profit companys will team up to measure and estimate roofs. I always thought you could zoom in and see hail hits on roofs. This will make roof thumpers less needed.

16 Replies and 6695 Views Labeling photos  6695  16 Started by  RandyC Most of our claims this storm have >30 contents with 4 or more being in the over $250 range requiring documentation and price searches.  Writing is falling behind scoping.  Is there some way I can label photos in another version and profile of XM8 and data transfer them to the carrier profile without losing the work on a different computer to help speed up the writing of these claims. I can draw the sketches while the claim is being written on the other computer...but that only takes s...

2 Replies and 5433 Views Xactimate 27  5433  2 Started by  ceckraft Just downloaded Xactimate 27. Used it with SF in Virginia on Floods. I was confused somewhat using the 'Properties' area to modify things. I was comfortable with the old way. I think it's just a matter of getting used to it. With a little updated training it should be more flexible and easier to accomplish some tasks. However, it seems that all information for training is expensive. A good training disk would help. The virtual online training for 2 hours is $149.00 and you are subject to calcula...
