Revision 1.77
|
|
NEW: Adjustable Import/Export Interface with New Choices
|
The Import/Export interface is now expandable/compressible.
(Note about the XpresRoute import: This file format uses bender LRA data to define the tube shape, therefore the original orientation of the part is lost during export from Solid Edge. Also this file does not contain the tube diameter. However, it does bring in the part name, the linear display unit, the cut length, and the LRA bender data.)
|
|
NEW: New End Length Adjustment Fields
|
These new fields allow you to dynamically adjust the end lengths during calculation of the bender data LENGTH columns. |
|
ENHANCED: Changed End Trim Offset Field Names
|
The original End Trim Offset field names were changed by default to "Solid Model Offset" to reflect how these values are used in VTube. |
|
NEW: Reset Origin to Zero in XYZ Data
|
Now you can reset the origin in the XYZ data to ZERO in VTube-STEP. |
|
REPAIR: TubeCalc Project File Linear Units Import Properly
|
Linear units are now always properly imported into VTube from TubeCalc files. |
ENHANCED: The Linear Units Switches to the Import File Units
|
VTube now always switches to the linear units used in the imported TubeCalc, Solid Edge, or Supravision file. |
ENHANCED: TubeCalc Project Imports Include More Values
The following values were added to TubeCalc imports in this version:
| From TubeCalc | To VTube | |
| Customer Name |  | Customer |
| Material Name | | Material Spec |
| User | | Author |
| Material Offset 1 | | A-End Length Adjust |
| Material Offset 2 | | B-End Length Adjust |
| Measuring Center Offset A | | A-End Measured Offset |
| Measuring Center Offset B | | B-End Measured Offset |
FIXED: Projection Tolerances Now Change Units Properly
|
The projection tolerance now handles a change in linear units properly. |
