How VTube Controls the Viewport Color

VTube-STEP, VTube-LASER Programmer, and VTube-LASER control the viewport color with an image file in the config folder called "bkimg.bmp". The file is stored in this folder: "C:\Users\Public\Documents\VTube\config".

The default image is a 256x256 bmp file that is shown on the right. This file has a blue gradient that changes the shade of blue from top to bottom.

About the VTube-LASER Programmer License

You can setup a VTube-LASER project in VTube-STEP.

However, some customers also want to setup the LASER mode MEASURE SETUP variables that are not available in STEP mode - and they want to do this in remote locations away from the FARO ScanArm computer. So they purchase VTube-LASER Programmer to do this.

The VTube-LASER PROGRAMMER version is identical to VTube-LASER except that it will not connect to a FARO arm to measure parts.

Programmer mode costs half of a regular VTube-LASER license.

How To Save Project Files that Compatible Even with Older Versions

All newer versions of VTube can load the project files from older versions of VTube.

Older versions don't recognize newer files, but newer versions can save in older file formats in the Save As Dialog as shown in the images on the right.

To determine the version of VTP file your VTube uses, click on the Save as Type pulldown list, and look for the latest version at the top of the list. VTube will, by default, always save the latest version of the VTP file.
