New – MATERIAL TABLE FOR REUSE OF MATERIAL SETUP BETWEEN PROJECTS
VTube-LASER can now connect to and control a Baces USB arm.
+
- We added the new Material Table for reuse of common material setups.

- Enter “D of Bend” values in Part Setup, XYZ grids, and some LRA grids.

- Export an NNS report in STEP mode
 +
- Added a new bender data grids with NNS-style 360 clockwise rotations and “D of Bend” radii
 +
- IMPORT fixed to interpret all radii as “D of Bend” values in STEP mode.

+
New – LASER SCAN SOUND CHANGE
 +
- Added a new switch to turn “No Laser Data” sound on or off in Measure Setup.
 +
- This sound was annoying users by sounding too much.
 +
- The switch is in Project Setup in System Options.

+
New – PRINT from INSIDE BENDER SETUP
 +
- Now you can print reports directly from Bender Setup.
  
==[[image:Check.jpg|25px]]NEW - VTube-STEP Mode Alpine M4 and CSM M4 export filenames can use more than 20 characters. ==
+
New – BETTER CONTROL of FARO SCANNER SETTINGS and FARO WINDOW
 +
- We added a configuration switch to tell VTube-LASER to no longer update the FARO scanner.
 +
- This solves problems with the VTube-LASER attempting to update the newer FARO scanner settings at project load.
 +
- VTube-LASER now becomes invisible when you display the FARO scanner control window. This prevents the two windows from competing for the topmost position.
  
<table cellpadding=10 width=1400>

New – REVERSE ENGINEER ENHANCEMENT – AUTOMATIC CALCULATION OF CUT LENGTH
<tr valign=top>
+
- When reverse engineering from Measured to Master XYZ, VTube-LASER now automatically calculates the Cut Length.
  
<td width=300>
+
Fix – REVERSE-CALC FROM BENDER DATA ISSUE RESOLVED
VTube-LASER would not allow VTube-STEP to export an MBF filename with more than 20 characters. Alpine and CSM have changed this limitation for the characters in the filename, so we have changed it in VTube-STEP as well.
+
- Editing and moving out of Absolute bender data now correctly calculates XYZ data during reverse calculations.

<td width=300>
 
VTube-LASER would only make the first correction properly using the COMCO protocol.  Second corrections were incorrect because of the way VTube handled the correction data column of the COMCO data. This has been fixed in this version.

The setup list for configuration for Measure 1 inside System Options had an ambiguous name that led to confusion. We renamed it to make its purpose more clear.
