NEW - NOTE LIST in PART SETUP For an UNLIMITED Number of Notes in a VTube Project
|
We received a request for more COMMENT and/or NOTE fields in Part Setup for VTube-LASER and VTube-STEP.
|
|
Video 88: VTube-LASER and VTube-STEP Unlimited NOTE LIST Feature
This video shows the new unlimited NOTE LIST feature that allows you to add any number of notes to a VTube project.
|
|
NEW - LRA POPUP MENU COMMAND SPLITS ONE BEND INTO TWO FOR MORE ACCURATE MEASURING QUALIFICATION and BENDER CORRECTION
|
Splitting a bend into two adjacent half-bends manually is a bit complex. So we added this command to make it easy.
|
|
|
See VTube-LASER Split Bend Feature for details on how to use the Split Bend Measuring feature with high-angled bends. |
NEW - MINIMUM CLAMP LENGTH FILTER FOR CORRECTIONS
|
This new filter is in the new CORRECTION FILTER tab menu in Bender Setup. When the filter limits the length reduction, then a dialog will appear before data is sent to the bender. The dialog will warn you with a message that at least one length correction was limited to the minimum clamp length. |
|
|
When the Minimum Clamp filter is active and the filter lengthened a length between two bends, then this warning will display. |
