Check.jpgNEW - ENTER FRACTION VALUES for FLOATING POINT in PART SETUP, XYZ GRIDS, and LRA GRIDS

We discovered a customer that had to manually convert Imperial fractional units from a tube print. So we taught VTube how to accept fraction values in the PART SETUP, XYZ GRIDS, and LRA GRIDS.

The form VTube-LASER and VTube-STEP uses is identical to the AutoCAD standard for fraction entry. If you know that standard, then you already know the VTube standard.

Many customers still use inches in data entry. If you do, then try this after you install this new version: Go to the Part Setup menu and type in the tube diameter using a fractional form. Enter 3/16, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, etc. (That's the way we old-school designers and engineers still think.)

Acceptable Fraction Forms

"10-3/8"converts to10.375
"-10-3/8"converts to-10.375
"+10-3/8"converts to10.375
"3/8"converts to0.375
"-3/8"converts to-0.375
"3 / 8"converts to0.375



Rule Breaker Examples

  • 10 3/8 = Error (no dash between the 10 and the 3/8)

  • 10-3/0 = Error (division by zero)

Check.jpg NEW - RONIKolli7 Bender Simulator ASCII XYZ File Import

VTube-STEP mode can now import RONIKolli7 bending simulator ASCII XYZ files.

That data imported includes:

  • Part Number (filename)
  • Material Note
  • Diameter
  • Wall Thickness
  • XYZ + centerline Radius



VTube also calculates the default radius and the Cut Length during the import.
