NEW - Floating Measure Guide Window
The new Measure Guide window draws a small model of the part with the current section highlighted with a color band. This will help you visually identify which part of the tube to measure next. This feature has an on/off switch in Measure Setup / Other. Also, you can view the window at any time from inside Measure Process Measure a tube. |
|
In MultiScan ModeThe feature works for either UniScan and MultiScan. For UniScan, the entire straight is banded. For MultiScan, the tangents of the straights are banded. |
|
Resizable WindowThe window is resizable. |
|
Multi-monitor SupportThe Measure Guide window can be moved to other monitors. |
|
Measure Guide Window SetupSetup the window in the Measure Process / Measure Tube option. |
|
Automatic Display of MasterIn the Measure Setup - "Other" menu, use this option to indicate that VTube-LASER should automatically display the Measure Guide window when you are measuring tube shapes. |
NEW - Scan Point Clouds into SOLIDWORKS
VTube-LASER now handles point clouds in storage we call "buckets." This allows you to scan anything into VTube-LASER - not just tubes. With this feature:
|
|
Scanning Test: Malibu Control ArmThis is a Malibu Control Arm that we scanned in VTube-LASER.
|
|
Send to SOLIDWORKSPress one button to transfer the scanned point cloud to SOLIDWORKS. The transfer takes about 5 seconds. |
|
Convert to SOLIDWORKS MeshUse the SOLIDWORKS features to turn the point cloud into a mesh and surface. (This requires a Professional or Premium license of SW.) |
NEW - VTube-LASER Now Automatically Resets Straight Count at Measure
VTube-LASER users are used to editing from a "0" for starting straight count to some positive value. You won't have to do that any more in this new version - because now VTube will just fill in the correct straight count for you. You can still change it manually at any time. |
NEW - Store Cylinder Fit Tolerances for Reuse in Other Projects
The new Cylinder Fit Tolerances Named Setup feature allows you to switch between stored cylinder fit tolerances for measuring cylinders. |
NEW - MAX Points for Cylinder Stripes Is Now 50
After extensive testing, we've concluded that any point count above 50 per stripe is never helpful in VTube-LASER. For example, as you approach 1000 points per stripe, it slows the math engine significantly and actually causes more Cylinder Fit problems than it solves. |
FIX - 180-degree Bend Correction Feature
This is important to you if you correct benders with 180-degree bends using Bender Setup communications. |
NEW- Auto Display of DRO (Digital Readout) When Moving from VTube-STEP to VTube-LASER
When the arm is connected to VTube, and the user changes from VTube-STEP to VTube-LASER, VTube now automatically displays the DRO window (Digital Readout). |
Other Changes
- For HTML reports, the screen-image bmp file is now only copied to the html export folder when it is present in the html report.
- In VTube-STEP, the export html report feature would display an error and would not save he html reports. This has been fixed.
- Auto disconnect without critical error or crash when FARO driver stops answering VTube-LASER's requests for information.
