Some buttons may not be displayed or active depending on what license is activated (if any).

Conditions Window Control Buttons

Button	Name	What it does/How it is used...
	Add New	Depending on focus, adds a new Condition, Typical Group, Zone, Alternate or Change Order, or folder.
	Edit	Edits the selected Condition, Typical Group, or whatever else has focus.
	Delete	Deletes the selected Alternate, Change Order, Condition, Typical Group, or Zone. Deleting a Condition, Typical Group, or Zone in the Base Bid does not delete it in child bids (Alternates or Change Orders) and vice versa.
	Duplicate	Duplicates whatever has focus: a Condition, Typical Group, Zone, Alternate, or Change Order.
	Reassign Takeoff	Becomes active when you select one or more takeoff objects in the Image Window. You click on a different Condition than what was used to draw the objects and then you can reassign them, see Related Articles for details.
	New Folder	Create a new folder in the Cover Sheet pages grid or in the Condition window
	Unlock Bid	When using DPC, allows user to unlock the bid so takeoff or pricing can be edited, see Related Articles for more information about Digital Production Control (DPC).
	DPC Mode	"Flips" the current Bid or Change Order to DPC Mode, see Related Articles for more information about Digital Production Control (DPC)

Delete Confirmations

You cannot "undo" deleting Alternates, Change Orders, Conditions, Pages, Typical Groups, or Zones, so think before you confirm!

Alternates, Change Orders, and Zones

If you delete an Alternate or Change Order from the Conditions window Bid View tab or delete a Zone from the Zones tab, you are prompted to confirm the action. You can suppress this confirmation prompt so it will not show again when you delete a child bid.

you are required to confirm deleting Conditions twice

We strongly encourage you not to suppress this prompt, however if you do and you change your mind, you can re-enable it in Tools > Options, click the check box "Turn on all confirmation dialogs" until there is an "X" in it.

Conditions and Typical Groups

When you delete Conditions and Typical Groups, because it is such a destructive action and deletes every object drawn with that Condition or the Typical Group Frame and every Marker placed, throughout the current bid, you are prompted to confirm deleting a Condition or Typical Group.

This is you're only verification - please think about this before clicking "Yes" or "Yes to All"!

If you are not 100% certain about what you are deleting, click "No".

you are required to confirm deleting Conditions twice

This confirmation cannot be suppressed - this is by design to ensure that you never delete a Condition accidentally and cost yourself hours or days of work!
