Original release notes

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 snapsh…
