|
|
|
|
### Automation
|
|
|
|
It is likely infeasible to automate LiveCount and [[accubid|Accubid]] project creation.
|
|
However, a script could launch the apps with a procedure,
|
|
setting the clipboard.
|
|
|
|
%%
|
|
|
|
## Sequence
|
|
|
|
### Create Trimble Connect Project
|

|
|
1. In [Trimble Connect](https://web.connect.trimble.com),
|
|
find the project "CONEST TEMPLATE",
|
|
open its context menu,
|
|
then click "Use as template for a new project".
|
|
|
|
2. Ensure all checkboxes are checked,
|
|
then click `Next`.
|
|
|
|
3. Name with format "{Project Name} - ConEst".
|
|
|
|
Refresh the page and open the newly created project.
|
|
|

### Upload Drawings to LiveCount

Replace the `Area`s with those created in [[conest-project-setup#Setup WBS]]
