Now you can import and work with an assembly of tubes into VTube-STEP.

The Assembly Control window allows VTube to hold several parts in memory at the same time.

The data in the user interface on the left is displayed when you select a part in the list in the Assembly Control. The row with the GREEN square represents the data shown in the menus on the left.

OUTPUTS 180-DEGREE BENDS

• The NUMALLIANCE CSV export now compresses SPLIT BENDS into a single 180-degree bends during export to the NUMALLIANCE CSV.
  
  

OUTPUTS SPRINGBACK-COMPENSATED DATA

• The NUMALLIANCE CSV export now includes springback-compenstation if you choose that option during export.
  
  

VTube requires XYZ coordinates for the parametric tube data.

However, some Supravision files contain only bender data with no centerline XYZ data.

VTube now detects this situation and automatically reverse-calculates to create a new set of XYZ data when necessary.

Previous versions of VTube would use the actual DOCS part number of "Part 1", "Part 2", etc., in the VTube Part Number.

A customer that imports DOCS files into VTube requested that the VTube Part Number be set to the incoming filename.

We made this change in this version.

VTube could randomly delete the imported model, the collected, or the constructed features after a parametric data build.

This has been fixed.
