New Transform MASTER Centerline Data so Any Bend is True in the XY Plane

  • Transform the centerline orientation so that any bend is true.
  • The 0,0,0 datum is always placed at the center of the true bend radius.
  • This feature can be combined with the Excel output in order to automate the building of compound tools in solid model programs.

After transformation with bend 1 true to the XY plane:

End Trim Length Fix

  • For single bends in the inspection grid, the end trim lengths were 1/2 the correct value. VTube-LASER was incorrectly considering single bends as single straight parts. This is corrected.

Updated Hardware Key Driver

Other Changes

  • Removed the dashes from radius zeros in XYZ charts.
  • Added new "XYZ" report that includes only the XYZ data for use in importing XYZ data to solid model programs like Autodesk Inventor through Excel.
  • Removed Cut Plane request after connect to the arm. Users know to do this if necessary - so there is no need to put the question on the screen.
  • This new installation does not interfere with current report templates. It will automatically add new reports only if they are not already in the report template list.
