To allow VTube to accelerate alignments for tubes that are well within tolerance VTube now allows you to choose the Deviation to Tolerance ratio in the Best Fit grid in order to help the Best Fit engine to know what deviation range you consider good enough for a solution. This can speed up the automatic fit significantly.<br> | To allow VTube to accelerate alignments for tubes that are well within tolerance VTube now allows you to choose the Deviation to Tolerance ratio in the Best Fit grid in order to help the Best Fit engine to know what deviation range you consider good enough for a solution.

The ratio can be set from 0 to 1 as a floating point. If you set the value to 0.5, then the Best Fit engine will consider any deviation that is 50% of the tolerance to be good enough anywhere in the search for the best alignment orientation. | The ratio can be set from 0 to 1 as a floating point.

Revision 1.77.4
|
NEW: Pulldown Menus
|
NEW: Recent Project List in the Pulldown Menus
Recent Projects can be reloaded with one click from the File pulldown menu. |
NEW: Real "Save" Command Distinct from "Save As..."
VTube now allows you to save the current project without having to supply the current filename again. Hit the blue disk, and VTube will save the data without any interruption. |
ENHANCED: Best Fit - Automatic Weighting Algorithm Logic Redesigned
The Best Fit Automatic Weighting alignment type logic was redesigned to follow better logic for finding the best end-weights automatically. Also, the new logic will give priority to an orientation with The algorithm now finds the orientations with the least number of total tangent points out of tolerance before examining the deviation averages. This extra FIRST step removes orientations that may have a lower average deviation - but a higher number of out-of-tolerance tangent points. This step is critical because the goal in this kind of alignment is to find the orientation with the fewest centerline tangent points out of tolerance. |
NEW: Best Fit - Deviation to Tolerance Ratio and Accelerated Alignment
ENHANCED: Better Feed Back Progress during Best Fit - Automatic Weighting
NEW: Hardware Key Information Window
The new hardware key window will show the details of your license found in the hardware key that enables VTube to run. The command to display the window is inside the new Help pulldown menu. |
NEW: Close VTube from LASER Mode
You can now close VTube from the LASER mode. |
NEW: Low Level User Interface Value: Maximum Recent Files
Use this to control how many files display in the Recent Project list in the pulldown menu. The default is 10 files. |
ENHANCED: Allow the Drawing of ZERO Value Radii
VTube can now draw a zero-radius bend in the model with displaying an error. |
