Revision 1.83
|
- See VTube-LASER Customer Support Page to download the latest version.
NEW: Function Key Shortcuts
Function keys now allow you to quickly refresh or resize the graphic image in the viewport.
|
NEW: SolidWorks Builder
NEW: Side Panels are Collapsible for an Expanded Viewport
The side panels in both STEP and LASER modes are collapsible. To expand the menus, simply move the mouse over the collapsed side bars. |
NEW: Improved Menus on Right Side with Adjustable Font Sizes in Grids
NEW: Click on FARO Image to Connect to FARO
|
NEW: Toolbar "Close" Button
The new Close button allows you to close VTube more quickly than before. |
NEW: Toolbar "Save As" Button
The new Save As button allows you to save the current part as a new part file. |
NEW: Free-form Editor for Comment Fields in Part Setup
This free-form editor allows you to enter comments 1 and 2 as notes with empty rows using the Enter button. |
NEW: Communcation Event Times in Bender Setup
NEW: Side Menu Width Sizing
The side menu widths can be set to default to NARROW, MEDIUM, or WIDE in the System Option menu. |
FIX: Supravision Export of End Offsets
The Supravision export would use the A-End and B-End Solid Model Offset for the Supravision end offsets in the exported Supravision file. The values that should be used are the A-End and B-End Length Adjust - because that is the equivalent for Supravision end offsets. |
NEW: "Aligned Coordinates" Moved Into Tab Menu
The aligned coordinates now have a grid in a tab menu inside the Inspection Data menu. |
NEW: TubeCalc Elongation Converter - Popup Menu in Part Setup
NEW: CONRAC Style Bender Chart
NEW: Automatic Project Save in the Logs Folder Before Alignment
|
NEW: Re-establish the Adjustment Values in Bender Setup
VTube Bender Setup can re-establish the last adjusted values calculated during alignment with this new copy feature - even if you've cleared them in the Bender Setup menu.
