Revision 2.2

Check.jpg NEW: WIREFRAME Feature For the MODELS

The WIREFRAME feature allows you to toggle a wireframe on the surface of the solid models.

The new feature can often give better clarity for straights and arc sections in the tube.

Check.jpg NEW: X, Y, and Z Span Values in Reports

The SPAN values of each of the part's axes can be reported on as of this version. This means that the total volume the part takes in its current orientation can be reported in three 3D distances.

Check.jpg NEW: MOUSE WHEEL CLICKS Toggle VTube between ORBIT Mode and PAN Mode

Play the video on the right to see this new feature working.

The graphic viewport now switches between ORBIT mode and PAN mode when you press the mouse wheel button.

Press right click to change back to SELECT mode from either ORBIT or PAN.

Check.jpg NEW: Improved Folder Selection Dialog

Tube-laser-2.2 folderselection newpath dialog.png

In the Path Manager's NEW PATH window, the PATH dialog was not very user friendly compared to the open dialog window, so we changed the folder selection dialog to look like an open file dialog.

It is much easier to view and use than before.

Check.jpg REPAIR: Default Project SAVE is FIXED

This version includes an important fix to a bug introduced accidentally in 2.1.x that could corrupt the default configuration file when operators saved new defaults.

Check.jpg ENHANCED: Calculation Precision - Short Straights

The calculation precision for short straights and very small holes is much improved in this version.


Check.jpg NEW: Detects New Paths to Allow to ADD to Path Manager

As of this version, when VTube detects a new path from any OPEN or SAVE dialog that is not already in the Path Manager, it will offer to store the new path in the Path Manager with this ADD dialog.

Check.jpg NEW: Save VTube Project Files in Older File Versions (v2.2 - Beta 9)

VTube now allows you to save projects in one of over 50 older project file versions for compatibility with older versions of VTube.

The feature is available whenever the Save Dialog appears. Choose the file version in the "Save as type" box.

Whenever VTube senses that you are about to save a project file in an older version, it will warn you with a dialog like the one shown below.

Check.jpg Other Changes

  • Save Project now no longer displays the VTube Path Manager or Save Dialog when it already knows the project filename (listed in the project filename box in the upper left corner).


  • The installation program will no longer overwrite the previous persistent configuration for VTube. For example, you will no longer have to setup the Network License Manager values every time VTube is installed. You will no longer have to reconfigure these persistent values every update.
