Transform the centerline orientation so that any bend is true.
The 0,0,0 datum is always placed at the center of the true bend radius.
This feature can be combined with the Excel output in order to automate the building of compound tools in solid model programs.

Before transformation:

After transformation with bend 1 true to the XY plane:

The split bend construction model did not clear in the previous version of VTube-STEP. Now it will.

Fixed slow dragging control windows in STEP mode The End Scan Diameter
Faster saving and loading of VTube persistence files makes VTube load and close faster
New options in XYZ pop-up menus
The formula for building the centerline in the split bend area is improved and more reliable.

-===Added new Radius Table in XYZ pop-up grid for storage of often-used radii===
+===Fixed Reverse Calc (LRA to XYZ)===
-*Store commonly used radii in a table for use in the future.
+*The previous version would not calculate the XYZ from LRA in STEP mode.
-*Any number can be added to the list.
+*This has been resolved.
-*VTube can now output TRUE radius as well as NOMINAL radius values based on the radius table.
