FlexRod Update - Flex4.7.8.1

An updated version of FlexRod is ready to be downloaded. Just click on "download" in the FlexRod menu to get the new version. If this is your first time to download the workbook, read the introduction first. A link to the introduction is in the FlexRod menu in the left hand frame of this blog.

The changes are minor but necesary. If you're using the Form Setup sheet in previous versions, I would recommend upgrading to the new version. Here's a brief description of the updates:

I've added the full taper diameters to the form setup sheet. Both full and half diameters are need on that sheet since they're extrapolated from tip and ferrule locations. The full diameters on the form setup won't match the original five inch station diameters. It's much easier to validate target diameters from the form setup sheet.

I've also added ferrule sizes and locations to the detail sheet. They should have been there already.

I made no changes to the Tapers sheet. Just copy your taper rows from Flex4.7.8.0 and paste them into the new version. Run the Calc or List Calc macros to update the stats for your tapers.

FlexRod has been downloaded about 150 times so far. I don't know how many of those are updates. I hope everyone is taking the time to update their workbooks.
