SusProg3D - Suspension by Design.
===================
Version 5.150 has a number of enhancements.

Thanks to all of those who made comments and suggestions.

In no particular order.

V5.150A (Build 1677.0)

bullet

Changed the wheel alignment terminolgy for rear suspensions. "Inclination" is now used instead of "Caster".

bullet

Added the "Dual axis strut" as used by some Renault and Honda vehicles.

bullet

Updated the centre link steering to allow for the tie rods to be connected above or below the centre link.
Thanks to Jim for this one.

bullet

Corrected a bug which caused an exception when closing the shock and spring chassis input dialog for live axle.
Thanks to Mirko for this one.

bullet

Updated the upright ISO Graphic to display correctly when not using the default SusProg3D axis system.
Thanks to Jim for this one.

bullet

Updated various input dialogs to correct the tab sequence.

bullet

Updated the antiroll bar inputs to consolidate the link length data into the main antiroll bar input dialog.

bullet

Updated the Excel export functions to export the spring and arb rates (in addition to the wheel rates).
Thanks to Sean for this one.

bullet

On a technical note, the functions to read a data file have been updated to use heap instead of stack memory.

V5.150B (Build 1682.1)

bullet

The undertray, chassis datum and track surface display has been updated to draw transparently.

bullet

The "Wheel" display options have been updated:
When [AsLines] is selected the wheel will be shown in outline using three circles (corresponding to the centreline and the tyre tread width).
When [Full] is selected and the "Wheel" checkbox is cleared, the display will be a transparent wheel and tyre, enabling all suspension components to be visible.
When [Full] is selected and the "Wheel" checkbox is selected, the display will be a "solid" wheel and tyre, hiding any suspension components that are behind the wheel.

bullet

Added a torsion bar option for strut suspension.

V5.150C (Build 1686.2)

bullet

Updated and fixed the graphic print function.
Thanks to Phil for this one.

V5.150D (Build 1689.3)

bullet

Fixed the antirollbar link orientation calculation error.
The antirollbar calculation attempts to infer the link orientation, but sometimes it's wrong, so added the "Invert" option.
Thanks to Richard for this one.

bullet

Added back the steering options for rear suspension types that had the option deleted.
Thanks to Jonathan for this one.

V5.150E (Build 1689.4)

bullet

Added back the steering options for rear suspension types that had the option deleted.
Thanks to Adam for this one.

V5.150F (Build 1689.5)

bullet

For the trailing arm and 3 link rear suspension, the trailing arm chassis mount offset didn't save. Fixed.
Thanks to Marcos for this one.

Your feedback and suggestions are always appreciated.
