Using the Digital Takeoff Table™

 

On Center Software is proud to announce the Digital Takeoff Table. The revolutionary hardware device allows you to draw, directly on your electronic plans using a more comfortable motion than a mouse will ever afford.

 

 

Digital Takeoff Table Reference

Digital Takeoff Table™

Looks a little like a monitor which, really, is what it is. It is a Pen-Enabled monitor on which, using a Stylus, you draw takeoff directly on the screen.

Not to be confused with a Tablet PC which is a fully functioning computer in a pen-enabled format.  

Stylus Pen

Tool used to draw directly on a pen-enabled monitor. This prevents the monitor from mistaking fingers or hand touches incorrectly.

Mouse Pad Template

Used to define a region of your table as a mouse pad.  When you click your stylus in the defined region, its acts as a mouse rather than a takeoff tool.  Use the mouse pad template and your stylus as you would a regular mouse.

Buttons

There are 4 buttons on each side of the table which are assigned to common functions for which you would normally use the mouse or keyboard.

Template

Included with your Digital Takeoff Table is a removable template which indicates what the side buttons do as well as gives you information on common shortcuts and pen strokes. There is a Left and Right side template - reverse them if you are left handed and set the Table to Left Handed mode.

 

Follow the instructions below to install your Digital Takeoff Table. You will need to install any drivers provided by On Center Software before On-Screen Takeoff will recognize the device. If you do not have the necessary drivers or installation information, please contact the Support.
