Check.jpg NEW: Export to Alpine M4 MBF Data File

VTube can now export XYZ data to an Alpine M4 data file. This feature sends XYZ coordinates for setup.

The extended export feature lets you set the radius level before sending the data to the bender.

Check.jpg ENHANCED: SolidWorks Builder

The SolidWorks tube builder can now:

  • Build constrained end and intersection points in 3DSketch.

  • Build constrained centerline geometry in 3DSketch.

Check.jpg NEW: CONRAC Style Bender Chart

The new chart shows absolute LENGTHS and ROTATIONS appropriate for Conrac style benders.

This chart always uses arc lengths that are compensated for elongation based on the elongation percentage in the part setup menu.

Check.jpg Other Changes

  • VTube now always reports reduced arc lengths compensated for elongation if the elongation percentage is greater than 0. (It used to always report the theoretical value without elongation.)

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

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

  • Repairs were made to the Language Editor.

  • Internal were made repairs to the Part Setup grid. Corrections were made to field types.

  • Click on column cell 1 of the Default Radius field to show the Radius Table.
