Upgrade Please

This version of On-Screen Takeoff 3.98 has been replaced by 3.98.08.52, please upgrade at your earliest convenience as there are numerous features and bug fixes you're missing.

Download links and other resources are provided on the Product Info page (just click the product name above or this link: On-Screen Takeoff® Product Information and Downloads - OST DPC).

OST v.3.98.00.07 is a feature release to On-Screen Takeoff available to all licensed users under a current maintenance subscription. This release includes a great new set of features and numerous bug fixes and changes.

Warning

Microsoft has ended "Mainstream Support" for Windows 8.1, therefore On Center no longer tests new versions on that platform. Please see related articles for updated System Requirements and our Sunsetting/End-of-Life policy.

Features

Users can draw Annotations (all but Named Views and Hot Links) within the "2nd View Window". (see OST 3.98 - View Window (2nd Image Window)

Changes

Moved the MyOnCenter Tab to the first position and default to opening it for licensed users. (see OST 3.98 - MyOnCenter Tab)

This Tab provides access to the Customer Portal, Training and Support options, and an array of resources intended to help the new and experienced user get the most out of their software.
On Windows 8.1 (32-bit), the MyOnCenter Tab throws an error, this is a known issue and deemed acceptable as this version of Windows is no longer supported.

Bid exports (OSP and OST files) now include the "Mark Takeoff Complete" indicator as appropriate (works if you send to another OST 3.98 user only).
