Conduit Bend: Sales & Layout

Thank you for using ConduitBend and for the care you bring to conduit work and customer conversations. You know that a good recommendation needs more than a quick number. This update helps you keep the measurements, trial results, costs, and bend details together so a customer can see how you reached a proposal. The Sales workspace now gives each opportunity a clearer path: - Start with a customer and project instead of a loose collection of notes. - Use the opportunity overview to see which customer, project, and follow-up records belong together. - Copy customer details from Apple Contacts when you choose to use them. - Save repeat assemblies with quantities, revisions, tolerances, labels, and approval status. - Attach a saved bend calculation to the assembly it supports. - Record the exact bender, shoe, table, and accessories proposed for the work. - Keep a manufacturer source and literature date with each equipment capability profile. - Time setup and production for both the current method and the proposed method. - Enter accepted and rejected assemblies, material loss, consumables, and loaded labor. - Review the observed cost per acceptable assembly after a trial. - Compare released labor capacity and realizable cash savings as separate figures. - Model purchase cost, financing, maintenance, training, rental, and payback assumptions. - Compare field fabrication, the contractor's own shop, and purchased prefabrication. - Build a package quote from entered items and prices. - Correct a customer or assembly name once and see the linked detail reflected in later reports. - Share a branded PDF customer report that shows the figures and assumptions behind it. - Export individual sales record types as CSV when you need a spreadsheet copy. Bend Proof and saved work are easier to use throughout the job: - Find offsets, saddles, kicks, 90s, parallel runs, compound bends, and segmented layouts in one calculator menu. - See a useful error message when measurements cannot produce a valid layout. - Create a bender as a draft, then save it when its name and centerline radius are ready. - Keep the measurements for the current bend type in exports, shown in the selected units. - Review saved calculations in History and load older entries when the first page is not enough. - Open an earlier History entry to restore its bend type, measurements, and saved bender snapshot. - Search the history you have loaded and see a clear message when nothing matches. - See calculation totals and activity in Statistics, including older imported records. - Use Reference search to find formulas, topics, and sources, then open a related calculator. - Keep your unit and appearance choices when you delete saved database records. Smaller changes help with handoffs and repeat visits: - Browse larger Sales lists smoothly as more customer records are added. - Import adds missing records without replacing a matching saved record. - PDF summaries make it clear how many recent calculations are listed. - Reports keep recorded trial results distinct from estimates, with sources visible for capability review. - Share and print files get distinct names when you create more than one in a short time. - The Apple Watch shows Custom after you edit the values from a saved preset. - Help, Settings, and purchase messages use clearer language about what each action does. - Record deletion explains what it removes and what preferences stay in place. The numbers remain yours to review. Demonstration results reflect what you recorded; comparisons reflect the assumptions you entered. Check current manufacturer literature and job conditions before quoting a machine or promising an outcome. Thank you for putting ConduitBend to work.
