VTube-LASER and VTube-STEP can create SolidWorks tubes automatically if SolidWorks is installed on the same computer as VTube.

SolidWorks TEMPLATE paths must be setup for this connection to work. The reason is that VTube will attempt to automatically create a new part file before drawing the tube. Follow these steps to setup SolidWorks.
