VTube Rectangular Tubes
From ATTWiki
|
As of version 1.82, VTube-STEP and VTube-LASER can draw, calculate, and measure rectangular tube shapes. |
Drawing Rectangular Tube Shapes
VTube can draw rectangular or square tubing. The dimensional controls are in the Part Setup menu of both STEP and LASER modes: |
VTube - Profile Shapes
Square Tube
|
Rectangular - Bending "Hard Way"
|
VTube - Profile Rotations
Square Tube RotationSet the Rectangular Angle to rotate the profile of a square tube relative to the plane of the first bend. |
Rectangular Tube RotationThe same rotation feature works for rectangular tubing. |
Extracting Rectangular Shape Centerlines from Models
VTube can calculate the centerline of rectangular tube solid models. The operator imports the STEP and IGES model, collects the fillet corners of a rectangular shape to calculate the centerline of the rectangular solid model, then calculates the centerline.
|
Measuring Rectangular Tubes
VTube measures rectangular and square tube shapes with the laser or ball probes.
