One Click Costing is activated by the user, whereas auto-costing automatically re-costs a component in response to a CAD change, such as adding or modifying a CAD feature, regenerating a component, or activating a window/component.
One Click Costing requires that you click the Cost button to start a costing operation. If you make frequent design and cost estimate iterations and do not wish aPriori to automatically cost every time the CAD model changes, ensure that the One Click Costing™ is enabled.
