Revision 1.77Back to VTube-LASER |
NEW: Alignment Tab Menu with New Feature called "Alignment Types"
VTube now allows you to choose different alignment types:
|
NEW: "Hard Point - 321 Plane Line Point" Alignment Type
NEW: "Best Fit - Automatic End Weight Adjustment" Alignment Style
This new style of best fit will automatically adjust the end weights when it senses that the alignment is near the tolerance allowed. |
NEW: "Best Fit - Manual End Weight Adjustment" Alignment Style
This was the original alignment style of best fit in VTube. What is new is that the weighting values are moved out of the System Options and into the main interface. |
NEW: Special Features Calculator - POLAR Calculations
Right click on any cell in the MASTER XYZ grid, and choose Special Features Calculator to use a calculator that lets you convert calculated polar coordinates on prints when you must convert from an angle/distance to horizontal/vertical Cartesian XYZ values. |
NEW: Special Features Calculator - SUM Calculations
Right click on any cell in the MASTER XYZ grid, and choose Special Features Calculator to use a calculator that lets you quickly sum coordinates on prints when you must accumulate Cartesian XYZ values. |
NEW: Special Features Calculator - STORE Values
Right click on any cell in the MASTER XYZ grid, and choose Special Features Calculator to store values for copying to other cells in VTube. For example, you could quickly copy a value to the cells below the current cell. |
NEW: Added Several New fields in Part Setup
Customers requested several new fields in the Part Setup menu - so we added them: |
NEW: Added an "Office Bar" Expandable Menu to LASER With More Options
This new style of menu allows VTube to hold more options in the right control menu. Note these new options added:
|
NEW: New End Length Adjustment Fields
These new fields allow you to dynamically adjust the end lengths during calculation of the bender data LENGTH columns. |
NEW: Redesigned View Orientation Control
This new design is simplified and available in both STEP and LASER modes. |
NEW: Added Many Features to VTube-STEP Mode
Many new features were added to VTube-STEP (which is included with the VTube-LASER license). For example, we added new imports and exports. See VTube-STEP v1.77 for more details. |
NEW: DAMPING Values for Correction Available in Reports
We added the DAMPING values to the report output so you can print both regular corrections and damping corrections. |
REPAIRED: Insert XYZ Row Anywhere in XYZ Data (LASER and STEP)
Now you can insert an XYZ row after the currently selected row. Right click on the grid, then choose "Insert After Selected Row." |
NEW: Automatic Calculation of Default Radius
The default radius is calculated and reset when extracting the centerline from a solid model tube. |
REDESIGN: REPORT Menu Redesign
These are the new features in the REPORT menu:
|
NEW: Report Fields
New report fields are added:
|
ENHANCED: Report Formatting Updated
The report formatting is updated with larger and bolder tiles. |
