Check.jpg IMPROVED: Best Fit - Automatic End Weight Version 2 - Tighter and Faster Alignments

We're always happy to give you a feature that does more - and does more FASTER than before. This is one of those features.

Version 2 of the Best Fit engine aligns tube shapes faster and tighter than the original. For example, a 25 second alignment is now made in 20 seconds, and a 0.013" average deviation might drop to an average of 0.009".

Version 1 was very good at tight alignments as the measured tube shape started to conform more to the master tube shape. However, version 2 creates a tighter fit faster - and handles shapes that are further from the master shape much better than version 1.

The alignments shown on the right are the results of the two different kinds of alignments now available in version 2.5. We used the same master/measured data. When qualifications are on the edge of the tolerance, then the new version 2 of Best Fit has a better chance of qualifying a tube.


Note: We understand that some customers are very careful when approving new part alignment algorithms - so we were careful to leave the original version Best Fit option in the VTube Inspection Results menu to give you time to learn to trust and use Best Fit version 2.

Check.jpg IMPROVED: The MEASUREMENT COMPLETE Window is Redesigned for Simplicity

The Measurement Complete window is the window that displays when you finish measurements. It has been redesigned to make it even easier to use.

We've removed all the extra alignment buttons and now there is only one. There is a new dropdown box that allows you to chose the alignment - and make it the instant default in the current project. (This means that all other interface objects in other windows that show these settings change instantly when you change the alignment type here.)

As another benefit, we caught a user accidentally pressing "Do Nothing and Close" after a measure. This basically deletes the current measure. So now VTube will always ask for confirmation before accepting that as your choice.

Check.jpg ENHANCEMENT and FIX: The PROBE RADIUS COMPENSATION Feature

The captions in these boxes used to read "Offset End A" and "Offset End B". This was too vague, so we changed the English to "Probe Radius Compensation - End A" or "...End B".

Also, we discovered and fixed a bug where VTube always used the probe compensation setting End A for End B too.

This would have created a bad offset direction if the compensation directions for either end were supposed to be different.

If you measure the ends of tubes with the ball probe, and one offset may be different than the other, then this update is critical for you to get this fix alone.
