Revision 1.77

Check.jpg NEW: Adjustable Import/Export Interface with New Choices

The Import/Export interface is now expandable/compressible.

You can display or hide protocol choices in the interface.

New imports and exports were added:

  • Example of a new IMPORT: Solid Edge XpresRoute bender files in the TXT format

  • Example of a new EXPORT: SMI bender format




(Note about the XpresRoute import: This file format uses bender LRA data to define the tube shape, therefore the original orientation of the part is lost during export from Solid Edge. Also this file does not contain the tube diameter. However, it does bring in the part name, the linear display unit, the cut length, and the LRA bender data.)

Check.jpg NEW: New End Length Adjustment Fields

This new field allows you to dynamically adjust the end lengths during calculation of the bender data LENGTH columns.

This acts like the TubeCalc material end length fields - and allows that data to be imported.

Check.jpg NEW: Reset Origin to Zero in XYZ Data

Now you can reset the origin in the XYZ data to ZERO in VTube-STEP.

Check.jpg REPAIR: The TubeCalc Project File Linear Units Import

Linear units are now always properly imported into VTube from TubeCalc files.

Previous versions would sometimes improperly interpret the Inch or Millimeter setting in the TubeCalc file.

Check.jpg ENHANCED: The Linear Units Switches to the Import File Units

VTube now always switches to the linear units used in the imported TubeCalc, Solid Edge, or Supravision file.
