Check.jpg NEW: Improved Menus on Right Side with Adjustable Font Sizes in Grids

The right menu is completely redesigned to allow for resizing with different font sizes. The buttons are now grid-based - which allows them to redize quickly based on the font sizes.

The font sizes can be adjusted in the System Option/User Interface menu:

You can even load and save external text files to and from the Comment fields.

Check.jpg NEW: Communcation Event Times in Bender Setup

Bender Setup now shows the most recent event times for the project in memory.

This includes the time of the most recent recall from the bender, the time of the most recent send to the bender, and the time of the most recent adjustment data calculation.

This date/time data is stored with the project file. Each project will have different communications times. The date/times are loaded with the project files.

VTube shows "[Waiting for first RECALL]" or "[Waiting for first SEND]" before communications occurs the first time for a project.

Check.jpg NEW: Side Menu Width Sizing

The side menu widths can be set to default to NARROW, MEDIUM, or WIDE in the System Option menu.

Check.jpg FIX: Supravision Export of End Offsets

The Supravision export would use the A-End and B-End Solid Model Offset for the Supravision end offsets in the exported Supravision file. The values that should be used are the A-End and B-End Length Adjust - because that is the equivalent for Supravision end offsets.

This has been repaired in this version.


Check.jpg ENHANCED: Refresh Graphic Models Faster

The model refresh time is optimized significantly - especially when the point labels are switched on.

Check.jpg NEW: Aligned Coordinates Tab Menu with Grid

The aligned coordinates now have a grid in a tab menu inside the Inspection Data menu.

Check.jpg NEW: TubeCalc Elongation Converter

VTube now includes a TubeCalc Elongation Converter that can be accessed from the Part Setup popup menu. This converter calculates VTube elongation percentages from TubeCalc elongation per degree values.

Check.jpg Other Changes

  • Comments are no longer displayed in a dialog at project load time.
  • The envelope colors now display properly in the Inspection / Envelope menu immediately after they are set.
  • VTube no longer refreshes the tube model on the screen when a project is saved. This saves significant amount of time for large models.
  • Repairs were made to the Language Editor.
