Vtl v2.9.15 EndLengthFilter Graphic.png

VTube-LASER now allows you to shift the total correction between ends using the End Length Filter menu in Bender Setup.

This feature resembles the End Tag feature in the original Supravision software.

It is particularly useful for any application that starts with large volumes of pre-cut tubing. There is no option for easily changing the tube length - so it is important to allow VTube-LASER to spread the total length change during the correction process to the front straight, the back straight, or both evenly.

Check.jpgNEW - 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.

The form VTube-LASER and VTube-STEP uses is identical to the AutoCAD standard for fraction entry. If you know that standard, then you already know the VTube standard.

Many customers still use inches in data entry. If you do, then try this after you install this new version: Go to the Part Setup menu and type in the tube diameter using a fractional form. Enter 3/16, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, etc. (That's the way we old-school designers and engineers still think.)

Acceptable Fraction Forms

"10-3/8"converts to10.375
"-10-3/8"converts to-10.375
"+10-3/8"converts to10.375
"3/8"converts to0.375
"-3/8"converts to-0.375
"3 / 8"converts to0.375



Rule Breaker Examples

  • 10 3/8 = Error (no dash between the 10 and the 3/8)

  • 10-3/0 = Error (division by zero)

Check.jpgFIXED - 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.)

This has been fixed so that cleared Cut Planes never reappear.

Check.jpg NEW - REPORT ABSOLUTE CONRAC CORRECTIONS

VTube-LASER can now report absolute CONRAC bender corrections using new HTML report template values.

The two new tokens to use inside the html tags are:

  • <vtube_val>Array_Lcor_Absolute</vtube_val>
  • <vtube_val>Array_Rcor_Absolute</vtube_val>

Check.jpg NEW - RONIKolli7 Bender Simulator ASCII XYZ File Import

3slogo.png

VTube-STEP mode can now import RONIKolli7 bender simulator ASCII XYZ files.

That data imported includes:

  • Part Number (filename)
  • Material Note
  • Diameter
  • Wall Thickness
  • XYZ + centerline Radius



VTube also calculates the default radius and the Cut Length during the import.

Check.jpg OTHER CHANGES

  • Probe point throughput is potentially 2.5 faster than in previous versions.
