Revision 2.2
|
|
- See VTube-STEP Customer Support Page to download the latest version.
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. (This was a customer-requested feature.)
|
|
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. |
|
NEW: Import UTE Bender XML File Data
|
VTube can now import the centerline XYZ data from UTE XML files. |
|
NEW: MOUSE WHEEL CLICKS Toggle VTube between ORBIT Mode and PAN Mode
|
Play the video on the right to see this new feature working. |
|
NEW: Improved Folder Selection Dialog
|
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. |
|
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. |
|
ENHANCED: Calculation Precision Increased Significantly for Short Straights
|
The calculation precision for short straights and very small holes is MUCH improved in this version. |
|
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. |
|
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. |
|
FIXED: Erasure Issue of Collected Entities in STEP Mode (v2.2 - Beta 10)
|
Previous versions of VTube-STEP could sometimes randomly erase collected entities during the centerline calculation. |
|
NEW: Popup Menu Additions (v2.2 - Beta 13)
|
The popup menu now includes toggles for Auto Zoom and Perspective mode. |
|
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.
Other
- Back to VTube-STEP
- Back to VTube Software Updates (for LASER Mode)
- Back to VTube-LASER
