Check.jpg NEW: INCREASE LRA ROW COUNT in BENDER SETUP for EXTRA OPERATIONS LIKE END TRIM

The LRA ROW COUNT in Bender Setup can now be increased in order to allow for extra operations at the end of the bender cycle.

For example, this two-bend part, after adding a row, has four LRA rows. The added row has a new 2 inch leg for end trimming. You can manually adjust the distance in the extra row for clamping the tube for marking for trimming.

The manually entered data in this extra row is saved with the project (ie., the 2 inches in the last row).

Check.jpg NEW: MULTISCREEN SUPPORT

In previous versions, VTube could only be run from the main screen and report images would only print properly if VTube was running on the main screen. Now VTube-STEP and VTube-LASER supports multi-screen setups.

Check.jpg NEW: VTube-LASER MINIMIZE TO TASKBAR

In previous versions, the VTube-LASER window could only be minimized as a reduced window in the lower left corner of the screen.

Now VTube-LASER minimizes to to the taskbar - just like the VTube-STEP window.

Check.jpg FIX: IMPORTED MODEL DELETION ISSUE RESOLVED

VTube would randomly delete the imported model after a parametric data build. This has been fixed.

Check.jpg NEW: Addata ZModem Communications Protocol

We've added an Addata ZModem communications protocol also known as the Addison "Non-Standard Device Interface".

This protocol allows you to setup the COM port configuration to match the configuration at the other end of the serial port connection. Set the protocol to Addata ZModem, then click on the COM port cell to display this COM port configuration dialog.

See VTube-LASER Addata ZModem Communications Protocol for more information.

Check.jpg ENHANCED: NUMALLIANCE BENDER OUTPUT HANDLES 180-DEGREE BENDS

OUTPUTS 180-DEGREE BENDS

  • The NUMALLIANCE CSV export now compresses SPLIT BENDS into a single 180-degree bends during export to the NUMALLIANCE CSV.

OUTPUTS SPRINGBACK-COMPENSATED DATA

  • The NUMALLIANCE CSV export now includes springback-compenstation if you choose that option during export.

Check.jpg ENHANCED: SUPRAVISION IMPORT HANDLES DATA WITH NO CENTERLINE XYZ POINTS

VTube requires XYZ coordinates for the parametric tube data.

However, some Supravision files contain only bender data with no centerline XYZ data.

VTube now detects this situation and automatically reverse-calculates to create a new set of XYZ data when necessary.

Check.jpg ENHANCED: DOCS IMPORT SETS THE PART NUMBER to the INCOMING FILENAME

Previous versions of VTube would use the actual DOCS part number of "Part 1", "Part 2", etc., in the VTube Part Number.

A customer that imports DOCS files into VTube requested that the VTube Part Number be set to the incoming filename.

We made this change in this version.
