Check.jpgNEW - NOTE LIST in PART SETUP For an UNLIMITED Number of Notes in a VTube Project

We received a request for more COMMENT and/or NOTE fields in Part Setup for VTube-LASER and VTube-STEP.

We added the new UNLIMITED NOTE LIST - which allows for any number of notes per project.

  • All the notes can be exported in the BATCH EXPORT mode in the Report menu.

  • All the notes can be included in a standard report.

  • The notes are stored in the VTube project file.

Video 88: VTube-LASER and VTube-STEP Unlimited NOTE LIST Feature

This video shows the new unlimited NOTE LIST feature that allows you to add any number of notes to a VTube project.

Check.jpgNEW - LRA POPUP MENU COMMAND SPLITS ONE BEND INTO TWO FOR MORE ACCURATE MEASURING QUALIFICATION and BENDER CORRECTION

NOTE: This feature is provided mainly for VTube-LASER measuring. But it can also be used in VTube-STEP in preparation for VTube-LASER measuring.

Splitting a bend into two adjacent half-bends manually is a bit complex. So we added this command to make it easy.

This new "split a bend" command is useful for when a very high bend angle throws its intersection point far from the tube and then creates unreliably high swings in the tangent deviation and bender correction data.

After splitting a bend into two adjacent half-bends, you can use the SPLIT BEND measuring feature to scan the inside and outside of the actual bend to overcome this problem.

This new command is available in these grids:

  • Incremental LRA
  • Springback Compensated LRA
  • Absolute LRA

  • FIX - The Coping Print Preview screen does not load into memory during initialization unless it is being used. This prevents potential errors if no printer is installed in your setup.

  • CHANGE - Moved the demo parts to the "C:\Users\Public\Documents\VTube\Demo Files" folder during installation to clear up the default project folder for your parts.
