STEP 1 - Import a Solid Model or Manually Enter Part Data in VTube

You can enter centerline coordinates, bender data, or import data using one of the import formats - like import a STEP model of a tube.

Some imports require further processing before you output to Supravision. For example, you need to use the collect process on STEP and IGES models - which is like measuring the tube with a mouse. Then you can calculate the centerline coordinates.

Before you can export Supravison data, you must have data in the Tube Data menu describing the tube shape.

The Supravision export window lets you setup and save the Supravision file to any place on the disk or network.

Additional Tips About Exporting Supravision Files

Tip 1: Move the Supravision Export button to the top of the list

To make it easier to get to, you might want to move the Supravision export button to the top of the EXPORT list.

You can do this by clicking on the arrange button (with the check mark image) next to the EXPORT button in the expandable menu.

Tip 2: Supravision Data is Readable Text Data

You can load any Supravision file into any text editor to view the data.

This is why we include a checkbox option for "Display File in Editor After Export". Just click on this option, and VTube will load Notepad++ (installed with VTube) and then load the Supravision data.
