VTube-LASER operators know that previous versions of VTube-LASER require that you aim the LASER scanner at the part when you press the accept button at the end of a scan.

• For the ROMER scanner, this is one of the two side buttons.
• For the FARO scanner, this is the red button.
  
  
  

We have redesigned the scanning engine so it no longer requires this in-range scanning position.

As of this version, VTube-LASER will watch for and react to the accept button press even if no laser data is incoming.

We added and tested HERBER MES file correction support that allows VTube-LASER to correct HERBER benders through a network connection automatically.

We added the HERBER SOL file protocol that allows VTube-LASER to send NEW data to the HERBER benders through a network connection.

Use this new feature to import solid models into HERBER bender controls.

(Note: VTube-STEP is included in the VTube-LASER license. It is used for importing model data.)

We found issues with the collected objects in VTube-STEP mode.

• For example, the selected collected object (see the orange object) would never delete from the screen - even if the operator selected it and pressed delete.
  
  
• This issue could cause index errors in the Collection Features list memory displayed in the grid.
  
  
• The Collection Features Grid would not update automatically after a delete of the models on the screen.
  
  

All of these issues have been fixed.

• VTube-LASER will stop a Construct Tube process with ROMER arms if the LASER mode is active. It will also issue a warning to turn the LASER off.
  
  
• The laser stripe data is now displayed on the screen with lines between the points. This feature makes the stripes much easier to see on the screen.
