» Create Visio Drawings in BidMagic

BidMagic works with Visio to create floorplans, elevations, rack drawings and wiring diagrams. These drawings are automatically saved with the proposals and printed with the client copy. Each product can be assigned dimensionally accurate shapes that are sent to Visio for each room or section in the proposal.
BidMagic connects to thousands of Visio drawings for top industry products for rack drawings. This optional feature requires Visio 2007 or 2010. These are trademarks of Microsoft Corporation.

Also works with Middle Atlantic Visio Blocks. (Available free from Middle Atlantic.)
