ENHANCED: Faster Multiple Object Selection for Components
|
This is an enhancement to the Collect control for collecting components. Components are any object that you want to move with the unbending tube - including any shape of holes in the tube body.
...then press Right mouse click to put the final selection in the Collect List. |
|
NEW: VTube can Export IGES Files
| The EXPORT menu allows you to export IGES files. This export feature exports any surface on the screen when the export occurs. |
|
NEW: Project Batch Report Style 3 - with AB Lengths
|
Some of our customers build huge databases of VTube project files. In order to help manage the data, VTube outputs a comma-delimited batch report of the data from all project files in any folder into a file or an Excel spreadsheet. |
|
