VTube-LASER can reverse engineer tube and then build that tube in SOLIDWORKS as a fully-constrained 3D parametric model. This page describes the basic steps to create an assembly from a part using VTube-LASER and SOLIDWORKS.



==STEP 1: Measure the Part in VTube-LASER==

Without moving the assembly, measure the first pipe, then use the File tab in Measure Tube Data to send the measured part to SOLIDWORKS.
