|
ENHANCED - FASTER USER INTERFACE
VTube is now faster due to some important changes to the user interface. |
FIX - SOLID MODEL IMAGE PRINT IN REPORTS
VTube is designed to handle multiple displays. |
NEW - SEPARATE PERSPECTIVE MODES FOR STEP and LASER WINDOWS
In previous versions, there was only a single Perspective Mode switch. |
NEW - REQUEST REVERSE CALC WHEN EXITING THE LRA GRIDS
When you edit the data in the LRA grid, VTube-LASER now assumes that you probably mean to perform a reverse calc. |
FIX - REPAIRED LOSS OF ORIGINAL ORIENTATION DURING REVERSE CALC
VTube always attempts to keep the original XYZ orientation when you perform a Reverse Calc from LRA to centerline XYZ data. |
FIX - BUILD TO TUBE TO SOLIDWORKS
VTube would incorrectly build a single tube to both a single part drawing and a SOLIDWORKS assembly. |
NEW - BEND-TECH 7X IMPORT
Now VTube can import the new BEND-TECH 7x format as well as the older version 6 format. |
NEW - DENGLER VDS IMPORT (XYZ Data)
VTube can now import DENGLER VDS files. (DENGLER VDS files contain centerline XYZ coordinates.) |
NEW - DENGLER VDS EXPORT(XYZ Data)
VTube can now export DENGLER VDS files. (DENGLER VDS files contain centerline XYZ coordinates.) |
NEW - MINIMUM CLAMP LENGTH
VTube has a new Minimum Clamp Length field in the Part Setup menu. |
NEW - ZERO-DEGREE BEND ANGLE WARNING
If any bend angle is less than 0.1 degrees, VTube will now issue a "Zero-degree bend" warning in the header above the viewport. |
