NEW - RESTORE WINDOW LOCATIONS for MULTISCREEN SETUPS

VTube now restores three main window's screen locations automatically when it loads.

FIX- MTA (Measured Tube Averaging)

We discovered that the MTA feature would record all the tubes and build he average in Tube Data Storage, but would not copy it into main memory. This has been fixed.

NEW - SHOW "SPLIT BENDS PRESENT" in WARNING HEADER

When Split Bends are present (180-degree bends or greater), then a new message displays in the header: "Split bends present", and turns the header yellow.

NEW - End-A and End-B OFFSET VALUES IN REPORTS

The offset values are the same as the old Supravision "tangent" end points in the Critical Reports section of the Inspection Data report. The new tokens for this data are: A-EndOffset B-EndOffset

ENHANCED - SPLIT BEND FEATURE

The Split Bend calculations in STEP mode are improved from previous versions. The Split Bends are set to ACTIVE automatically when importing Split Bends.

ENHANCED - TOOL WINDOWS FLOATING

The floating windows have some enhancements in this version that ensures that they stay on top of parent windows.
