Version 8-20141217

Back to TubeCAD Pro

Check.jpg FIX- Diameter Outline - Hidden Line Fixes for AutoCAD

Tcadpro v8-20141217 dxf hiddenlines fix002.png

Previous versions of TubeCAD could sometimes draw the hidden lines in the diameter outline on the wrong side of the diameter.

This has been repaired.

Check.jpg FIX- 3D Circle Orientation Fix

This version repairs a 3D circle orientation problem for certain tube diameters.

All 3D circles are now drawn precisely regardless of their orientation.

Check.jpg FIX- End To Base Distance Calculations

Tcadpro v8-20141217 blockup error.png

The End to Base Blockup label now shows the correct distances.

Check.jpg FIX- Artifact Cleanup

When changing from a multiple-bend part to a single straight part, TubeCAD would not always cleanup leftover artifacts that no longer apply.

This has been resolved.

Check.jpg ENHANCEMENTS - Blockup Editor

  • Because each tube view can have its own unique Blockup settings, the Blockup editor screen values now automatically change when you switch active assembly or active view at the top of the window.

  • The Base Offset for Blockups can now be set in Blockup Editor and stored in the Prototype files - so that the values are setup when you clear TubeCAD. Clear TubeCAD, set the value, then save the file to the correct prototype file. (Get the prototype file name for each unit in the Options pop up menu.)

  • Now the Individual Blockup Attributes panel is invisible when there are no Blockups on the current view to change.

Check.jpg ENHANCEMENT - Better Auto Arrange with Assemblies

  • In previous versions, Auto Arrange would not draw the entire layout if some of the tubes were a single straight. Auto Arrange can now properly handle arrangements of assemblies with parts that have a mix of single straight and multi-bend parts.

  • Auto Arrange automatic spacing was also enhanced for assemblies.

Check.jpg OTHER

  • TubeCAD now stores all configuration data in the c:\ProgramData\tcadpro folder. This is a folder that is equally shared by all users. Storing files there allows TubeCAD to be setup once for use by all users who log in into Windows with unique credentials. There is no longer any need for setting up TubeCAD for each user like in previous versions.

  • TubeCAD can now output debug data to Smart Inspect logs and display consoles. This is mainly for testing purposes.
