As of version 1.82, VTube-STEP and VTube-LASER can draw, calculate, and measure rectangular tube shapes. |
Drawing Rectangular Tubes
VTube can draw rectangular or square tubing. The dimensional controls are in the Part Setup menu of both STEP and LASER modes: |
VTube - Profile Shapes
Square Tube
|
Rectangular - Bending "Hard Way"
|
VTube - Profile Rotations
Square Tube RotationSet the Rectangular Angle to rotate the profile of a square tube relative to the plane of the first bend. |
Rectangular Tube RotationThe same rotation feature works for rectangular tubing. |
Measuring Rectangular Tubes
VTube measures rectangular and square tube shapes with the laser or ball probes.
