Revision 2.8Original Release Date: April 19, 2017
|
BUILD 44 - April 11, 2017
NEW: UNISCAN DCF (DUAL CYLINDER FIT) Feature
DCF is the major enhancement for VTube-LASER in this version because it replicates measuring the tube TWICE in one pass without the user noticing. |
NEW: ADDED 3 NEW CYLINDER FIT CHECKS
This window reports cylinder fit values that help you know if the cylinder measurement is good. |
NEW: CYLINDER FIT WINDOW is NOW COLOR-CODED
The window is now color-coded to help you quickly determine where the problem lies in the data.
|
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. From this version forward, VTube automatically orbits every straight TRUE to the screen so that you don't have to use the mouse to find that orientation. |
NEW: CONFIGURE CYLINDER FIT TOLERANCES ON-THE-FLY
Users can now easily configure cylinder fit tolerances on-the-fly. |
NEW: ADDED 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: TRUE VIEW TRANSFORM Window
This window lets you transform the orientation of any straight or bend in any model to true to the XY plane. |
NEW: Redesigned Parametric Display Options Window
The Parametric Display Options Window has been redesigned to include model colors and easier to use controls. |
NEW: Import TUBE DATA from ROMER CIMCORE DOCS .DS FILES
Import DOCS tube data in VTube-STEP mode. |
NEW: PRECISION WEIGHT CONTROL Alignment
Customers asked for additional control for the weighting that is easier to use than 321 Plane-Line-Point. This is the answer to that request. We've added PRECISION WEIGHT CONTROL alignment that allows you to completely turn off certain sections of the tube for alignment or give emphasis to any section just by setting weights from 0 to 1000. |
This shows emphasis given to end B. |
This shows emphasis given to the middle straight. |
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.
|
BUILD 60 - April 26, 2017
FIX: Out-of-round % Tolerance Reporting
The OOR% tolerance value was incorrected compared to the HIGH value in the surface to centerline distance. This has been repaired.
|
NEW: More Invdividual Cylinder Fit Data Window Pass/Fail Colors
Each value that is compared to a tolerance is now shown in the Cylinder Fit Data window with a unique PASS/FAIL - GREEN/RED coloring. This helps users identify exactlhy which value caused the cylinder fit failure.
