ENHANCED - New Import XYZ Text in General Specification Menu

In the Design Coordinates screen in General Specifications, TubeCAD Pro can now import an XYZ text file that contains centerline coordinates. This is the same text file that the older TubeCAD DOS software could import. This is the format:

ENHANCED - New "SET" Buttons in DESIGN an LAYOUT Coordinate Windows

In previous versions, it was necessary to press Enter to reset the grid. This was confusing to new users, so we added new SET buttons. The new SET button allows you to change the number of rows in either XYZ grid without exiting the point count edit box.

ENHANCED - Added DXF Path for Build Location

The DXF build location can be adjusted in the Options dialog. Right click on the viewport, then choose Options to access this menu.

ENHANCED - Centerline Labels Offset

The centerline labels are now positioned in better locations so that they don't overlap the diameters. The algorithm moves the points away from the tube on the outside of the bends if possible.

ENHANCED - Automatically Use Part Number as TubeCAD Part Filename

Now if the filename is empty or untitled, then TubeCAD will automatically use the Part Number as the suggested first file name.

FIX - The Synchronization Warning Logic Now Works for Rotations

Negative and positive rotation values that are in the same place in space (like 270 and -90) are no longer treated as synchronization errors that are out of tolerance.

FIX - "Enter Total Length" Box Value No Longer Corrupts

The Enter Total Length Box value in the Absolute Bender Data page in General Specifications was being corrupted when it was changed by the operator. This has been fixed.
