Revision 1.56Back to VTube-LASER |
|
NEW: Springback Compensation
|
VTube now uses standard springback-compensation variables in the Part Setup menu. Here are some points about the feature:
|
|
ENHANCED - Bender Setup Menu With Springback Values
|
The Bender Setup menu now includes columns for springback adjustment calculations where you can view how much the part is changed by the springback values. These values are automatically calculated in this menu from the Part Setup "Fixed" and "Proportional" Springback values. |
|
NEW - Overbend Calculator Included In Installation
Use the Overbend Calculator to calculate springback values for Part Setup in VTube-LASER.
ENHANCED - Bender Setup Menu Column Color Changes
|
The Bender Setup menu shows color columns for any column with data that can be edited on the fly.
|
|
ENHANCED - Bender Setup Menu Popup Menu for Rotations
|
Sometimes the corrected rotation value may move in the wrong direction. |
|
ENHANCED - New Fields in the Reports
The reports have fields added - like "comments", and "wall".
An XYZ deviation chart can now be programmed into the reports:
FIX - Cylinder Fit Tolerances Saved to Project File
The Cylinder Fit tolerances are now save to project files.
ENHANCED - Other Changes
- The LRA bender adjustment values automatically recalculate every time a project file is loaded.
- The Part Setup grid cells resize vertically if text no longer fits.
- The caption in VTube-LASER updates to the correct file name after a file save.
