Check.jpg NEW: Trim Surface Datum for Extending End Lengths

VTube-STEP now allows for different kind of Trim Surfaces now. Older versions only allow for the centroid (average XYZ point) of all points in a solid used to trim. Now VTube can...

  • Trim/Extend to the furthest point in the cloud from the midpoint of the tube centerline.

  • Trim/Extend to the nearest point in the cloud from the midpoint of the tube centerline.

Check.jpg NEW: Added the End A and End B Diameter Values in STEP Mode Part Setup

The End A and End B diameters were only in VTube-LASER. Now they are in VTube-STEP in order to allow users to control the data when outputting data to a Supravision file in VTube-STEP.

The two values are placed immediately after the Diameter field.

Check.jpg NEW: Added the Default Tolerance Value in Part Setup

Some output formats prefer to have a default tolerance built into the export, so now the Default Tolerance value is included in the VTube-STEP Part Setup menu.

Check.jpg NEW: Automatic Set of End Diameters When Calculating Centerlines

The end diameters are now set to equal the main diameter during centerline calculation from models.

Check.jpg NEW: Added to the Popup Menu to Synchronize End Diameters with Main Diameter

The pop up menus for the Part Setup menu (STEP and LASER modes) now allow for the end diameters to be synchronized with the main diameter.

Check.jpg ENHANCED: Fine-Tune Export to Laservision Spreadsheet Format Files

The Eaton Leonard Laservision measuring center can import CSV (Comma Separated Value) files built in an Excel spreadsheet. This version of VTube can now export to this format. This version fine-tunes the new feature to make the output conform to customer specifications for the project.

Check.jpg NEW: Previous Paths List in Quick Open

The Quick Open dialog now has a pull-down list that shows all the recent previous paths used to load VTube project files or imported solid model files.

Click on the previous path to use, and the folder tree on the left will open the new folder.
