+ | This new feature allows you to import the MASTER TUBE DATA and PART SETUP DATA ALONE from inside a VTP (VTube Project) file into the current project. | ||

NEW - REORGANIZED DATA HANDLING MENU
We've reorganized the Data Handling menu by splitting it into three separate tab menus because we have plans for more features in this menu in the future. |
NEW: IMPORT ONLY MASTER DATA FROM VTP FILES
NEW: SEARCH AND MOVE IN PATH MANAGER
VTube now lets you search for path names in the Path Manager. |
BUILD 1 - REMOVED "Move Arm from Cradle" MESSAGE
This message appeared when loading VTube-LASER projects on older arms. This message is no longer displayed because it is not needed with then newer FARO drivers. |
BUILD 1 - CTRL-S SAVES THE PROJECT THEN BRINGS LASER WINDOW TO THE FRONT
This fixes an issue where the Ctrl-S would bring the STEP mode window to the foreground when saving VTube-LASER projects. Now the VTube-LASER window moves back to the top after the save. |
