New Transform MASTER Centerline Data so Any Bend is True in the XY Plane
- Transform the centerline orientation so that any bend is true.
- The 0,0,0 datum is always placed at the center of the true bend radius.
- This feature can be combined with the Excel output in order to automate the building of compound tools in solid model programs.
Before transformation:
After transformation with bend 1 true to the XY plane:
Added Split Bend collection feature in Collect Control in STEP mode
- Split bend (for handling 180 degree bends or greater) was available in LASER mode - now it is available in STEP mode too.
- This means that you can also display compress LRA data with two 90s being combined to show a 180 degree bend in the LRA grid and the reports.
- In STEP mode, you can select an arc section that* becomes the guide for the intrados and extrados - showing VTube where to form the split bend centerline.
- The split construction model now displays in STEP mode.
Added new Radius Table in XYZ pop-up grid for storage of often-used radii
- Store commonly used radii in a table for use in the future.
- Any number can be added to the list.
- VTube can now output TRUE radius as well as NOMINAL radius values based on the radius table.
Other Changes
- Fixed slow dragging control windows in STEP mode The End Scan Diameter
- Faster saving and loading of VTube persistence files makes VTube load and close faster
- New options in XYZ pop-up menus
- The formula for building the centerline in the split bend area is improved and more reliable.
