VTube-LASER v1.77.4

Revision 1.77.4 Back to VTube-STEP Back to VTube Software Updates Back to VTube-LASER

NEW: Floating Pulldown Menus

The menus are floating because they can be pulled off the pulldown and moved anywhere on the screen during the current session.

NEW: Pulldown Recent Project List

Recent Projects can be reloaded with one click from the File pulldown menu.

NEW: Real "Save" Command Distinct from "Save As..."

VTube now allows you to save the current project without having to supply the current filename again. Hit the blue disk, and VTube will save the data without any interruption.

ENHANCED: Best Fit - Automatic Weighting Algorithm Logic Redesigned

The Best Fit Automatic Weighting alignment type logic was redesigned to follow better logic for finding the best end-weights automatically. The first significant change is that the algorithm now finds the orientations with the least number of total tangent points out of tolerance before examining the deviation averages. This extra step removes orientations that may have a lower average deviation - but a higher number of out-of-tolerance tangent points. This step is critical because the goal in this kind of alignment is to find the orientation with the fewest centerline tangent points out of tolerance. The second significant change is that VTube now allows you to choose the Deviation to Tolerance ratio in the Best Fit grid in order to help the Best Fit engine to know what deviation range you consider good enough for a solution. This can speed up the automatic fit significantly.

ENHANCED: Better Feed Back Progress during Best Fit - Automatic Weighting

Two new progress dialogs show better detail during automatically weighted best fit alignment. The top dialog shows that VTube found alignments with at least one orientation with zero tangent points out of deviation. The second dialog shows the current best deviation found. If the deviations are good enough, then the operator can press the Stop button, and VTube will keep the best orientation it found to that point.

NEW: Hardware Key Information Window

The new hardware key window will show the details of your license found in the hardware key that enables VTube to run.

NEW: Low Level User Interface Value: Maximum Recent Files

Use this to control how many files display in the Recent Project list in the pulldown menu, the

ENHANCED: Allow the Drawing of ZERO Value Radii

VTube can now draw a zero-radius bend in the model with displaying an error.
