You will find webinars scheduled for 9/12, 9/27 and 10/19. Additionally, we will be holding classes on this release at Trimble Dimensions.

After the last Trimble Dimensions conference, we received emails from several of our QuickPen users asking when the next QuickPen conference was going to be held. Now that we’ve been part of the Trimble family for the last few years what was formerly our user conference has now been merged with Trimble Dimensions.

 As time has passed you have had the opportunity to see how the greater Trimble field and office solutions play into the BIM process and Trimble Dimensions will allow you to see even more of the full breadth of the Trimble portfolio, so we hope to see you there.

  On the CAD side we have big changes coming this year and we will hold “What’s New” training at the conference in addition to several other CAD courses.  Additionally, you will also have the opportunity to take other Trimble classes, visit the pavilion to see other technologies and to network with thousands of other attendees. Trimble Dimensions is always a great event and we hope to see you there!

Tired of getting your field drawings on sheetrock, cardboard, or scraps of paper? Looking to reduce waste in the shop from all the rework after reading field fitting information incorrectly?

For years I have seen customers struggle with receiving unreadable or confusing fitting information from the field, it consistently leads to costly mistakes and loss of valuable time and resources.

I'm excited to announce today our new product Trimble® Field Fitting Input . An intuitive, easy to use way to enter fitting information in the field without the need to decipher the information before entering into Vulcan---because it exports a file that can be imported directly into Vulcan.

Trimble® Field Fitting Input also features some other great tools including:

• 3D rotational preview- see what you entered looks like to make sure it's what you want!
• Comprehensive Fitting Library – from residential to the largest commercial applications
• Graphical icons & dimensional data in one location – see quickly if all fittings for the project have been entered
• Notes & Scope information – specify for each fitting exactly what drawing, floor and system it's for and include notes and instructions for installation

It will speed your ability to get finished product back to the job site and reduce the finger-pointing from shop to field. Trimble® Field Fitting Input is available for free on the iTunes app store, download the free app today!

Field fitting has taken a step into the future and as the song goes "the future seems bright, I gotta wear shades," it will only continue to get better from here.
