NEW: Side Menus Are Collapsible and Expandable

The side menus can be collapsed and expanded very quickly in order to show you an expanded viewport.

NEW: Side Menu Font Size Adjustable

The side menu fonts can be changed in System Options to fit more or less on the screen vertically.

NEW: Side Menu Width Sizing

The side menu widths can be set to default to NARROW, MEDIUM, or WIDE in the System Option menu.

NEW: Free-form Editor for Comment Fields in Part Setup

This free-form editor allows you to enter comments 1 and 2 as notes with empty rows using the Enter button. You can even load and save external text files to and from the Comment fields.

NEW: Function Key Shortcuts

VTube now uses shortcut function keys for certain tasks: F1 = Help F2 = Refresh Graphics F3 = Zoom All F4 = Viewport to VIEW mode F5 = Viewport to ORBIT mode F6 = Viewport to ZOOM WINDOW mode F12 = Clear (Delete) all imported graphics objects

ENHANCED: Redesigned Control Side Menu (Right Side)

VTube needed more controls on the right. And the controls needed to be more logically grouped. Now the control menu has an added Office style button at the top called "Control" that contains 8 buttons rather than the old menu's 3 buttons. Some of the buttons were moved out of View into Control. A new important button is "Clear Imported". This button will allow you to clear all the imported data from the screen, and all collected data that depends the imported data with one touch of a button. This allows you to clear out unnecessary data that may slow VTube down. (The old method of selecting the imported objects with the window, then pressing delete several times in the Imported Model menu was too cumbersome.)

FIX: Supravision Export of End Offsets

The Supravision export would use the A-End and B-End Solid Model Offset for the Supravision end offsets in the exported Supravision file. The values that should be used are the A-End and B-End Length Adjust - because that is the equivalent for Supravision end offsets. This has been repaired in this version.

FIXED: Point Label Draw "1" Repeat

The point labels would sometimes put "1" in points other than the first point incorrectly in LASER mode. This has been fixed.

ENHANCED: Model Refresh Graphics Faster

The model refresh time is optimized significantly - especially when the point labels are switched on.

Other Changes

VTube no longer refreshes the tube model on the screen when a project is saved. This saves significant amount of time for large models.
