NEW: Side Panels are Collapsible for an Expanded Viewport

The side panels in both STEP and LASER modes are collapsible. To expand the menus, simply move the mouse over the collapsed side bars.

NEW: Improved Menus on Right Side with Adjustable Font Sizes in Grids

The right menu is completely redesigned to allow for resizing with different font sizes. The buttons are now grid-based - which allows them to redize quickly based on the font sizes. The font sizes can be adjusted in the System Option/User Interface menu:

NEW: Click on FARO Image to Connect to FARO

Click on the FARO arm image to connect to the FARO.

NEW: Function Key Shortcuts

Function keys now allow you to quickly refresh or resize the graphic image in the viewport. F2: Refresh Graphics F3: Zoom All F4: VPort: Select Mode F5: VPort: Orbit Mode F6: VPort: Pan Mode F7: VPort: Zoom Window Mode F8: Tube: End Point Labels F9: Tube: Intersection Point Labels F12: Delete selected objects

NEW: Free-form Editor for Comment Fields in Part Setup

This free-form editor allows you to enter comments 1 and 2 as notes with empty rows using the Enter button. You can even load and save external text files to and from the Comment fields.

NEW: Communcation Event Times in Bender Setup

Bender Setup now shows the most recent event times for the project in memory. This includes the time of the most recent recall from the bender, the time of the most recent send to the bender, and the time of the most recent adjustment data calculation. This date/time data is stored with the project file. Each project will have different communications times. The date/times are loaded with the project files. VTube shows "[Waiting for first RECALL]" or "[Waiting for first SEND]" before communications occurs the first time for a project.

NEW: Side Menu Width Sizing

The side menu widths can be set to default to NARROW, MEDIUM, or WIDE in the System Option menu.

FIX: Supravision Export of End Offsets

The Supravision export would use the A-End and B-End Solid Model Offset for the Supravision end offsets in the exported Supravision file. The values that should be used are the A-End and B-End Length Adjust - because that is the equivalent for Supravision end offsets. This has been repaired in this version.

ENHANCED: Refresh Graphic Models Faster

The model refresh time is optimized significantly - especially when the point labels are switched on.

NEW: Aligned Coordinates Tab Menu with Grid

The aligned coordinates now have a grid in a tab menu inside the Inspection Data menu.

Other Changes

Comments are no longer displayed in a dialog at project load time. The envelope colors now display properly in the Inspection / Envelope menu immediately after they are set. VTube no longer refreshes the tube model on the screen when a project is saved. This saves significant amount of time for large models. Repairs were made to the Language Editor.
