Summary of Enhancement Information

  • This version retains both the XYZ and YBC data intact. There is no forced conversion in one direction or another between the two data types.
  • Now ALL data found in an FIF file is converted to the Supravision format.
  • Distance data can be automatically converted to the other unit (Millimeters to Inches, or Inches to Millimeters).
  • Improved error handling.

NEW Conversion Features

NEW for XYZ Data



In addition to the XYZ points and bend RADII...


  • NEW - Properly skip REFERENCE points in the XYZ data. (Reference points are not intersection or end points. They are not used to define the shape of the tube.)


  • NEW - Retain XYZ data as it exists in the FIF file. No longer attempt a recalc from YBC to XYZ. This allows measuring centers to be sure to retain original XYZ MASTER data during conversion.


NEW for YBC Data



In addition to the YBC data...

  • NEW - Retain YBC data as it exists in the FIF file. No longer attempt a recalc from XYZ to YBC. This allows measuring centers to retain original YBC bender setup data during conversion.

NEW for SPEED Data



  • NEW - Conversion of YBC axes speeds: 1 - 8

NEW for YBC FUNCTION Data



  • NEW - Conversion of all YBC FUNCTION Bits (12345678)

NEW for YBC SPECIAL FUNCTION Data

NEW - All distance values can be automatically converted to the opposite unit during conversion.

Note: This does not apply to the EXTENDED Setup data, as Supravision does not attempt to convert these values between units.
