TubeCAD has a new XLS command that allows you to import or export XLS files that contain XYZ centerline data.



Type "XLS" in the command line to show the new Excel window.

TubeCAD's default part folder was changed to depend on the user logged in in Windows (See the next enhancement for details how we now handle paths).
