The side menus can be collapsed and expanded very quickly in order to show you an expanded viewport.

Use the blue arrows at the corner of either the left or right panels to collapse the menus. Move the mouse over the collapsed menu to expand them.

Compare these two images. The top screen shows the left panel collapsed. The bottom screen shows the same window with the left panel expanded.

The side menu fonts can be changed in System Options to fit more or less on the screen vertically.

The side menu widths can be set to default to NARROW, MEDIUM, or WIDE in the System Option menu.

This free-form editor allows you to enter comments 1 and 2 as notes with empty rows using the Enter button.

You can even load and save external text files to and from the Comment fields.

VTube now uses shortcut function keys for certain tasks:

• F1 = Help
• F2 = Refresh Graphics
• F3 = Zoom All
• F4 = Viewport to VIEW mode
• F5 = Viewport to ORBIT mode
• F6 = Viewport to ZOOM WINDOW mode
• F12 = Clear (Delete) all imported graphics objects

The Supravision export would use the A-End and B-End Solid Model Offset for the Supravision end offsets in the exported Supravision file. The values that should be used are the A-End and B-End Length Adjust - because that is the equivalent for Supravision end offsets.

This has been repaired in this version.

VTube now includes a TubeCalc Elongation Converter that can be accessed from the Part Setup popup menu. This converter calculates VTube elongation percentages from TubeCalc elongation per degree values.

The point labels would sometimes put "1" in points other than the first point incorrectly in LASER mode. This has been fixed.

The model refresh time is optimized significantly - especially when the point labels are switched on.

• VTube no longer refreshes the tube model on the screen when a project is saved. This saves significant amount of time for large models.
