BUILD 44 - April 11, 2017
NEW: UNISCAN DCF (DUAL CYLINDER FIT) Feature
ADDED 3 NEW CYLINDER FIT CHECKS
This window reports cylinder fit values that help you know if the cylinder measurement is good. CHECK 1 - MAXIMUM WOBBLE PREDICTIONThe Maximum Wobble value predicts how precise the surface data fits the cylinder. This was in previous versions, but now two cylinders must pass - not just one. And we've created a single new value to display at the top rather than multiple XY values. CHECK 2 - OD SURFACE TO CENTERLINEThe new OD Surface to Centerline value reports the low and high points on the measured diameter relative to the centerline. If the values get too far from each other (the "Delta"), then VTube-LASER will warn you. Also, the Out-of-round% is reported and used to qualify the cylinder fit. This is active for both LASER and ball probe. CHECK 3 - INTERSECTION PASS DISTANCEThe Intersection Pass Distance shows how near each intersecting 3D centerline comes to each other in 3D space. If the Nearest Pass value is more than the Intersection Error Tolerance, then VTube-LASER will warn you. This is active for both LASER and ball probe. CHECK 4 - DUAL CYLINDER FITBecause the DCF engine creates two cylinders, it always builds and compares the resulting intersection points from both cylinders. It warns you if they don't match well enough. As mentioned above, this new feature is the major enhancement to VTube-LASER because it replicates measuring the tube TWICE in one pass without the user noticing. |
NEW: CYLINDER FIT COLOR-CODED PANELS
The window is now color-coded to help you quickly determine where the problem lies in the data.
RED PANELThis would indicate a major problem in the cylinder fit calculation. VTube requires a remeasure of a straight section. |
GREEN PANELAll green indicates that no issues were found in all four checks. You can trust the calculation. |
Intersection Pass Distance Warning TestThis is an example of the Intersection Pass Distance warning test. |
NEW: Automatic ORBIT to TRUE VIEW of MEASURED CYLINDERS
We teach users to view the end scan on the screen before moving to the step. In previous versions, this required that you manually orbit the viewport so that you can see the end scans. |
NEW: CONFIGURE CYLINDER FIT TOLERANCES ON-THE-FLY
Users can now easily configure cylinder fit tolerances on-the-fly. |
NEW: CONFIGURE CYLINDER FIT QUALIFICATION VALUES
This a new group of qualification values in the Measure 1 tab menu of System Options. Most of these values are new to the VTube-LASER project file storage. |
NEW: Point Labels for All Models
This version now shows point labels for all models drawn on the screen. |
NEW: ORBIT CONTROL Window
This window lets you find any true or normal orientation for any line or bend in any model.
|
NEW: Redesigned Parametric Display Options Window
The Parametric Display Options Window has been redesigned to include model colors and easier to use controls. |
BUILD 20 - March 14, 2017
NEW: MantisHub Web Server Bug Tracking
This version of VTube will allow you to choose to report software errors directly to our account at MantisHub.
|
BUILD 11 - February 15, 2017
NEW: "Default Tolerance Ends" Value
The Default Tolerance Ends value is in the Inspection Data menu.
|
NEW: REPORT COMMANDS - Tangent Deviation AVERAGE and MAXIMUM Values
BUILD 19 - February 22, 2017
ENHANCED: Winton WMC Communications Improvement
New Process Flow for Winton WMC CorrectionThis image shows the overall process for correction of Winton WMC files.

UPDATED: Japanese Translation for User Interface
The Japanese translation of the UI was updated from version 2.6.
