NEW: Import SolidWorks 3DSketch Into VTube
|
VTube can now import tubes from SolidWorks. This means that the loop is closed between VTube and SolidWorks. VTube can build parametrically constrained tubes in SolidWorks as well as import parametric tubes.
1 - Draw the tube centerline in 3DSketch. The centerline can have intersecting lines or not (VTube can figure it out). Include fillets so that VTube can extract the radii too. You can even draw tubes with contiguous arcs (where the arcs touch each other without straights). VTube can even handle 180 degree bends. 2 - While SolidWorks is in 3DSketch mode, switch to VTube and import the 3DSketch. Before importing the sketch, you can even enter a diameter and wall thickness.

NEW: Laservision CSV File Import
|
VTube can now import Laservision CSV files. These files contain the part number, comment, linear unit setting, XYZ coordinates, bend radii, diameter, and default tolerance. How it Works 1 - Press the Laservision CSV Import button. |
|
NEW: Enter a Tube Wall Thickness in the Import Excel XLS Window
|
The Import Excel XLS window now allows you to enter a wall thickness as well as a diameter.
