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:

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.

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.

-===Added Split Bend collection feature in Collect Control in STEP mode===
+====Split Bend Graphic Model Now Clears with Project Clear===
-*Split bend (for handling 180 degree bends or greater) was available in LASER mode - now it is available in STEP mode too.
+*This is bug is removed from the previous version.<br>
-*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.<br>
