I have thought of doing it as you suggest but since you are the first person to comment on it haven't felt the need. You make a good point though.
To change the CG position permanently you need to change it in the "Car Manager". The intent here is the CG position is a measured value so it shouldn't be changed unless there is justification. Using the Wheelbase/Track Width/CG Position Form is just to provide a quick method of comparing the effect of changing other variables.
IMO I recommend changing how it saves because I was under the impression that saving a change reflected in the other tabs on the current setup. I was playing around with changes and couldn't figure out why things weren't adding up and something seemed off. That's when I discovered that the changes weren't being reflected into the other tabs so when I thought I was working off one set of parameters I was actually operating off another. Clicking on a save feature and then having to manually make the same change in the rest of the setup just isn't right Bob.
I do certainly see your point with the CG and track width though now that I think about it. That's not something you want accidentally getting changed across the board throughout the setup and is pretty critical. Now that I know to go make the change in the car manager if I want it to be permanent all will be well. That gives the ability to play with it a little in the setup to see how it would affect the car without accidentally making it permanent.
