Revision 2.9.15

Release Date: October 8, 2018
Current Build: 8

Contents


Check.jpgNEW - END LENGTH FILTER - SHIFTS LENGTH CORRECTIONS BETWEEN A-END and B-END

Vtl v2.9.15 EndLengthFilter Graphic.png

VTube-LASER now allows you to shift the total correction between ends using the End Length Filter menu in Bender Setup.

This feature resembles the End Tag feature in the original Supravision software.

It is particularly useful for any application that starts with large volumes of pre-cut tubing. There is no option for easily changing the tube length - so it is important to allow VTube-LASER to spread the total length change during the correction process to the front straight, the back straight, or both evenly.

Check.jpgFIX - IMPORTANT UPDATE for IMPORTING and MEASURING 180-DEGREE BENDS

If you import models with 180-degree bends, then you will use the Split Bend COLLECTION feature in VTube-STEP.

If you measure 180-degree bends, then you will use the Split Bend MEASURE feature in VTube-LASER.

Both of these features use the same Split Bend math engine.

We discovered a problem that could cause the centerline of the Split Bend construction to be short by 0.020 inches (0.5 mm).

If you use the Split Bend logic in VTube, then this update is critical for you because it addresses an issue we discovered during some research into Split Bend measuring issues with a customer.

Check.jpgNEW - SUPRAVISION BATCH IMPORT - NOW USES YOUR DEFAULT SETUP TO BUILD PROJECT FILES

The Supravision batch import can import any number of Supravision files at one time - building huge numbers of VTube project files in minutes.

We added the ability for this batch engine to automatically use your current project default when importing the data.

Check.jpg NEW - VTUBE-STEP NOW IMPORTS AUTODESK INVENTOR TUBE XYZ FILES

Autodesk Inventor can create text files that contain the centerline XYZ data for a tube.

VTube-STEP can now import these files.

Check.jpg OTHER CHANGES

  • Fix - "Reset Point Labels" - The point labels no longer revert to the previous state if you save the project after a point label reset.
