I have been looking for xactimate training classes in my area (Atlanta). All I can find is TX &FL. Seems that no one wants to teach this program outside these areas. Anyone know of other areas that offer classes

Using Sketch 3926 6
Started by mcgrawreed
I have been using Xactimate for about four years now and I'm pretty confident about creating rooms and such in sketch. Where I'm weak is in creating roofs in sketch. So far I can create the basic hip and gable but the offsets and extentions are killing me. Is there anyone that would help me as a mentor to break the code on how to create a professional roof diagram. I understand that time is worth everything and I would be willing to hire someone as a mentor. Thanks.

Has anyone tried it yet&160; I&160;am curious as to whether I&160;will be able to go to Windows 7 prior to carriers switching to the new version of Xact.&160; I&160;have seen mixed informaiton. &160;On the Xact site they say that it's not tested, bu that Microsoft says vista programs will work with version 7.&160; Just curious to see if anyone is currently using Xact 25 with Windows 7, and if so, what problems it is presenting you with.

Change Activity Codes Globally? 3596 1
Started by OdieWyatt
Is there a way to change all my activity codes that are now Remove and Replace to just Replace I need to do the tear out by the hour rather than the way I have it now. I can go through and do it item by item, but I was wondering if there is a method to do all the items at once. I know how to do it if I want to start an estimate from scratch just using replace, but I have already almost completed this 700 item estimate.

Practise vehicle? 5772 10
Started by Hopalong
I wonder if the community has thoughts on the current practise, or lack of practise, opportunities for new and also existing users Xactimate allows one repeat download after deleting the entire prior install, but for users with some experience and for users wanting advanced practise especially if they have already been deployed and got active files then their does not appear to be free practise opportunities. Any thoughts on this

I have used Xactimate for over 10 years because it was required but now have a new opportunity to choose the estimating program of my choice. I need to&160;diagram &160;roofs and show calculations so sketch is no longer needed and I will not need XactAnalysis.&160;What&160;I need &160;is a basic estimating program that allows me to edit the line item prices.

Vista 64 Bit / Xactware Compatible 5044 2
Started by JKM80
Hey Guys and Gals,
I hope this is helpful; it was worth it for me (free).&160;
&160;
I looked around and found an alternative to partitioning drives or a new computer (so I could run Exactimate v.25.2.bootleg.208) which is turning out to be the best damn thing on this computer since there are few things I like about Vista.
&160;
I tried unsuccessfully to partition and create a separate XP based boot drive so&160;Xactimate 25&160;would install seamlessly since I have AMD Turion x2 ...

I recently upgraded from 25.2 to 25.4.&160; All was fine until I started trying to combine my PDF's into a single PDF.&160; I have always used the e-mail transfer in Xactimate to send the Estimate, General (or any other) report, the Photo Report (which allows more room for descriptions and larger pictures), and the ITV report to a folder, and I then would open Adobe Acrobat to combine all of these into a single (and yet smaller) PDF file.&160; Suddenly I see all of the Xactimate produced repo...
