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.

The previous version would not calculate the XYZ from LRA in STEP mode. This has been fixed.

The latest version of the SafeNet hardware key driver is included in this installation.

Removed the dashes from radius zeros in XYZ charts.
Added new "XYZ" report that includes only the XYZ data for use in importing XYZ data to solid model programs like Autodesk Inventor through Excel.
This new installation does not interfere with current report templates. It will automatically add new reports only if they are not already in the report template list.
