VTube-STEP - Second Quarter - 2015
June 12, 2015 | VTube-STEP v2.1.3 | The VTube Supravision import is improved to handle incorrectly formed Supravision files that add extra rows in between the data. |
June 12, 2015 | VTube-STEP v2.1.2 | VTube STEP EXPORT speed is much improved. |
June 9, 2015 | VTube-STEP v2.1 | MAJOR RELEASE: VTube can now UNBEND tubes and components around the tube. |
VTube-STEP - First Quarter - 2015
February 16, 2015 | VTube-STEP v2 | The new VTube Path Manager makes using complex file paths much easier. The CSM and Alpine conversions are enhanced. Supravision network protocol now allows for inverted rotations. Reworked file path logic inside VTube. |
VTube-STEP - Third Quarter - 2014
November 25, 2014 | VTube-STEP v1.99 | Export to CSM M4 Data Files, Alpine M4 and CSM M4 have a new springback switch that allows for a choice of springback on or off. |
November 7, 2014 | VTube-STEP v1.97 | Two new import types are added to VTube: Laservision CSV and SolidWorks 3DSketch |
October 27, 2014 | VTube-STEP v1.96 | Improved the centerline calculation engine for imprecise parts, point labels draw more efficiently, updated languages |
September 8, 2014 | VTube-STEP v1.95 | Repaired and enhanced import / export button arrangement feature. Added True Radius output features for the Alpine M4 bender (for undercut dies). Added button HINTS to translations. |
September 1, 2014 | VTube-STEP v1.94 | CRITICAL Enhancement: The cylinder centerline calculation engine for projections improved significantly.
