Takeoff 2009 Will Work For You!

	Digitize less! Get the ability to turn scanned paper plans into CAD linework.
	Send jobs straight to Topcon MC. Exports both .tn3 (surface models) and now .ln3 (linework) files.
	Work with “bad CAD” more easily. With more functions in Drawing Cleanup.
	Get more info. Volume Reports now include horizontal area and max cut/fill.
	See more. Improvements made to Cut/Fill Color Map and Contours.
