Revision 2.9.14Release Date: August 28, 2018
|
|
NEW - VTUBE IS NOW COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEW FARO 8-AXIS USB DRIVER (6.2.0.26)
|
|
|
NEW - ENTER FRACTION VALUES for FLOATING POINT in PART SETUP, XYZ GRIDS, and LRA GRIDS
|
We discovered a customer that had to manually convert Imperial fractional units from a tube print. So we taught VTube how to accept fraction values in the PART SETUP, XYZ GRIDS, and LRA GRIDS. Acceptable Fraction Forms
Rule Breaker Examples
|
|
FIXED - CLEARING ALL CUT PLANES from the CUT PLANE LIST NOW WORKS
|
We discovered that, when you delete the entire list of Cut Planes, VTube-LASER will most likely bring at least one of them back. (They are not cleared permanently.) |
|
NEW - REPORT ABSOLUTE CONRAC CORRECTIONS
|
VTube-LASER can now report absolute CONRAC bender corrections using new HTML report template values.
|
|
NEW - RONIKolli7 Bender Simulator ASCII XYZ File Import
|
