Check.jpg NEW: Automatic Build to SolidWorks

VTube can now automatically build a parametric 3DSketch tube in SolidWorks. VTube uses automation features to become the user and draw the part in SolidWorks 3DSketch, then sweep the diameter and shell the part is a wall thickness value is greater than zero.

If SolidWorks is not loaded, then VTube will attempt to load SolidWorks first. If SolidWorks is already open, then VTube will create a new part in a new window automatically.

Check.jpg FIX: Multiple Split Bend LRA Data

VTube can compress bends that are adjacent to each other (with zero length straight between then), and in the same plane, into a single bend. This is called SPLIT BEND compression.

Before this version, we discovered that multiple split bends in VTube-STEP would cause miscalculations in the LRA grid for split bends that come after the first split bend compression. This has been repaired.

Also repaired: The compressed to decompressed LRA procedure now works properly.

Check.jpg FIX: Excel Report Tube Image

VTube would not always include an image with the proper link in the exported Excel file. This has been repaired.

Check.jpg Other Changes

  • Overbend Calculator is now integrated into VTube. The values are now always updated and transferred back to VTube as they are entered in the Overbend.

  • The collection process now switched from Orbit mode to Selection mode automatically. You no longer have to manually switch to View mode first.

  • Fixed default radius bug for single straight tubes.

  • Removed confirmation of collection object delete.
