Autodesk ESTmep - Job Synchronization and RFQ Submittal

Follow the steps below to synchronize an ESTmep job to CINX and create/send an RFQ.

1. Open the Fabrication ESTmep job. Make sure to be in the ESTmep Configuration AND Profile that you would like to use.                              Note: You must have previously synchronized the catalog and profile to CINX.
2. Open the CINX ESTmep add-in.
3. From the left menu, click the Job Sync                                                                
4. On the Job Synchronization page, click Sync Job Items. 
5. Select the desired Service Types and click OK.                                                                                                                                                            Note: If you have previously defined service types on the default settings menu, they can be overridden here. If you uncheck a service type, the items in that service will be EXCLUDED from the job synch (joints, for example, maybe one to not synchronize).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
6. Review and/or enter Job information.                                                                                                                                                                    Note: The Description field is optional.                                                                                                                                                      
7. The project will be created in CINX and items will be copied to the CINX Project.                                                                                          Note: Depending on job size, this may take some time. You can watch the item count to monitor the sync process. 
8. When the job sync has finished, click either the View Items button or Item Browser menu option.
9. This will open a page where you can filter and view the items that were synchronized.       
   Note: The left panel contains filter breakdowns Services, Systems, Source, Spools, and more.                                                                  Note: There is also a Grouped or Ungrouped toggle. The Grouped option will combine like items into a single row in the grid with a calculated quantity.                                                                                                                                                                                 
   Note: Item rows required a quantity greater than zero (0).                                                                                                                              Note: You can add more items to the RFQ after it is created.
