In previous versions, when performing REVERSE CALC from bender data to centerline XYZ data, VTube-LASER could not keep the previous part orientation in 3D space when the first leg ran parallel to the Z axis.<br><br>
+
This new feature allows you to import the MASTER TUBE DATA and PART SETUP DATA ALONE from inside a VTP (VTube Project) file into the current project.
−
The part data on the right shows the first leg moving positive only in the Z axis. This is an example of data that could not be handled during reverse calculation.<br><br>

===WHAT DATA IS IMPORTED?===

The math engine has been improved to handle this condition.

Previous versions of VTube could only display DATUM reports with MEASURED-ALIGNED to MEASURED-ALIGNED DATUM or MASTER to MASTER DATUM values.<br><br>

Now VTube-LASER can show DATUM reports with MEASURED-ALIGNED distances to MASTER Datums.<br><br>

+
−
To use these new report templates:<br><br>
+
−
# Download these two new templates: [https://www.advancedtubular.com/customers/vtube/vtubelaser_v2.8.4_datum_measured2master_report_templates.zip Zip file of Measured to Master Datum Report Templates.]
+
−
# Extract them to a folder location that you can find.
+
−
# Load VTube-LASER.
+
−
# Go to Reports.
+
−
# Click on the Templates tab.
+
−
# Click on Import.
+
−
# Find and click on the new Datum templates.
+
−
# Repeat at step 5 for the second template file.
+
  
 +
The overall process is almost identical to loading a project file.  However, this process starts in the Data Handling/File menu.

Revision 2.8.5

Original Release Date: July 26, 2017
Latest Build: 1

Contents


Check.jpg NEW - REORGANIZED DATA HANDLING MENU

We've reorganized the Data Handling menu by splitting it into three separate tab menus because we have plans for more features in this menu in the future.

In this version, the only new button added is IMPORT Only PART SETUP and MASTER data from VTube Project (VTP) File in the FILE DATA tab menu. (See below for details.)

Check.jpg NEW: IMPORT ONLY MASTER DATA FROM VTP FILES

This new feature allows you to import the MASTER TUBE DATA and PART SETUP DATA ALONE from inside a VTP (VTube Project) file into the current project.

WHAT DATA IS IMPORTED?

This a list of data that is imported with this feature:

Vtube-laser v2.8.5 partial import yesno grid.png

WHY IS THIS FEATURE IMPORTANT?

This allows you to import older VTube-LASER project file MASTER data without disturbing NEWER default measure value setup parameters.

OVERALL PROCESS

The overall process is almost identical to loading a project file. However, this process starts in the Data Handling/File menu.

HOW TO FIND THIS FEATURE

Check.jpg NEW: SEARCH AND MOVE IN PATH MANAGER

VTube now lets you search for path names in the Path Manager.

It also allows you to move the paths up or down in the lost.

Check.jpg BUILD 1 - REMOVED "Move Arm from Cradle" MESSAGE

This message appeared when loading VTube-LASER projects on older arms. This message is no longer displayed because it is not needed with then newer FARO drivers.


Check.jpg BUILD 1 - CTRL-S SAVES THE PROJECT THEN BRINGS LASER WINDOW TO THE FRONT

This fixes an issue where the Ctrl-S would bring the STEP mode window to the foreground when saving VTube-LASER projects. Now the VTube-LASER window moves back to the top after the save.
