SlotForge App Collection - for all Slotcar enthusiasts!
#10

Many updates to all Apps!

Circuit, Livery, Telemetry and Decals all have been updated with new features to make life more easy. Paddock and Timing will get updates later.

Circuit:

[*]Builder → Planning tools: measurements, PDF dimensions, reference images, clickable checks, shopping lists, gap assistant, curvature colours and car envelopes.
[*]Selection → Group, lock, replace & ramp: organise pieces, protect finished sections, preview replacements and set ramp heights.
[*]Builder → Colour by piece: quickly identify curve radii and straight lengths.
[*]Selection / Custom piece editor → Squeeze / Spread lanes: adjust plastic-piece lanes while keeping the road outline unchanged.
[*]FreeForm Drawing: continuous squeeze/spread, ramps, smoothing selected joins, and View & measure tools.
[*]Planning tools → Convert routed layout to FreeForm: bring existing routed sections into continuous editing.


Livery:
[*]Richer SVG, EPS and PDF decals — open Import & Export → Import decal artwork or Decals sheet.
[*]SlotForge Decals integration — import .sfsheet and .sfdecal files and choose individual decals, preserving their artwork and embedded fonts.
[*]Library-first importing — save decals without changing your car, then use User Library → Shapes & Images → Place. Placing multiple decals directly now requires an explicit choice.
[*]Separate artwork from sheets — select Select separate decals during PDF/SVG import and draw crop boxes. Optional white-background removal is included.
[*]Group scaling — select a group or multiple layers, then use Scale selection in the right panel, or drag the selection’s corner handle.


Telemetry:
Magnetic downforce: repeated pull measurements, force and weight-relative calculations, clearance graphs, tyre-wear scenarios and club-limit margins.
Eleven Testing & planning tools:
Tyre preparation & life - Target diameter, tyre matching and measured wear forecasts
Electrical losses - Voltage drop, resistance and power loss
Motor test records - Individual measurements, torque, loaded power and efficiency
Race strategy - Incident losses, pit costs and break-even calculations
Ballast planning - Multiple added/removed parts and target weight distribution
Controlled A–B–A tests - Pace, consistency, incidents and baseline drift
Class limits - Measurement checks and margins against entered rules
Compound gears & geometry - Multi-stage ratios and standard spur-gear dimensions
Rotating mass - Equivalent inertia mass and ideal acceleration
Braking & coast-down - Measured speed traces, distance and deceleration
Measurement ranges - How measurement uncertainty affects calculated results

Also included:
Lap snapshots from Saved inputs, backup support, analysis tables and graphs.
[*]Formula guides, worked examples and calculation limits.
[*]Theme-aware SlotForge logos in the header and footer.
[*]Updated README, release notes and installation instructions.


Decals:
Select a vector decal, then click Edit Vector Artwork in the right-hand panel.
Click a shape or use Next white shape, then remove it.
Check the result with transparent, light or dark previews and zoom.
Use Undo/Redo, Cancel, or Restore original—even after saving and reopening.
