This version of TubeCAD Pro includes these features:



Contents

New Prototype File Handling Abilities

The TubeCAD Pro OPTIONS menu FILE TAB now allows you to select a unique prototype file for each unit - Millimeters or Inches. Also, a new set of radio buttons allows you to choose which one of the two prototype files is used to clear TubeCAD Pro when it is started.

New Script Commands

The NEW Millimeter or NEW INCH buttons in the TubeCAD toolbar (see below) now will use these internal filenames to call up the correct file. (The previous filenames were fixed.)

For example, the the blue-ball button above calls out to a script named "presetin.scr". A script is a series of keystrokes that TubeCAD Pro will perform when the script is run. The script takes advantage of the new commands "[options_prototype_in]" and "[options_prototype_mm]".

These two tokens lookup the current default prototype drawing names (either mm or inches), then reset TubeCAD with these prototype file settings.

Here is some script code for presetin.scr: multicmdopen
_openprototype

"[options_prototype_in]"
multicmdclose

IDENTIFY PULLDOWN SELECTOR

The selection of current views and line segments is much simplified with the new identify pulldown selectors.
