Check.jpg NEW: Arm LED Indicator is Now A Button

Vtube-laser-1.90-ArmLED closeup.png
The Arm LED indicator is now a button. Click on the LED when it is black to connect to the FARO arm.

Check.jpg FIX: Corrected Straight Count Reporting in Dialogs

Vtube-laser-1.90-countmatching.png

  • VTube-LASER would not always report the correct straight counts when starting to measure in the count mismatch dialog. This has been corrected.

  • A similar problem was found and fixed in the Bender Setup menu during communication with benders and mismatched straight counts were discovered and reported.



Check.jpg NEW: Alpine Bender Output for Roll Bending

VTube-STEP (included with VTube-LASER) can now output roll bending data files for Alpine controls.



Check.jpg ENHANCED: QuickLoad Improved With Better Exploring

  • The QuickLoad window now allows for multiple filename extension types - like STEP and STP.

  • The QuickLoad window has a new tree menu on the left that includes the Desktop and Documents folders. This makes browsing more flexible than in the first QuickLoad menu.

Check.jpg ENHANCED: Export/Import PERSISTENT Configurations With PROJECT DEFAULT SETUP Configurations

Vtube-laser-1.89-importexport configuration buttons.png

The export and import feature now automatically includes two configuration files - both the default project setup file and the persistent configuration file. The persistent setup represent values that will continue even if new project files are loaded.

With the persistent configuration included, the COMPLETE setup of VTube for any system can be easily saved and transferred to any other system.

Check.jpg NEW: Project Batch Report Output

Some of our customers are building huge databases of VTube project files. In order to help manage the data, VTube can now output a comma-delimited batch report of the data in all project files in any folder.

Vtube-1.90-project batch report output.png


Load the batch reporter in the Report menu of either STEP mode of LASER mode:

Vtube-1.90-project batch report button.png

This is a sample report file:

Vtube-1.90-project batch report file1.png

If the batch reporter finds files with 0 or negative length straights, then it will issue a WARNING at the end of the report log and create a second report file containing a list of all the project files with these lengths:
