VTube-STEP now automatically calculates the cut length during calculation of the centerline from solid model.

The math engine uses the current tube elongation percentage to reduce the cut length to account for elongation in the bends.

If the wall thickness is zero after a centerline calculation from solid model, then VTube now automatically inserts a value of 0.001" (or 0.0254mm) into the part setup. This cleans up the image by removing solid ends in the display.

The Quickload window has a new button that allows you to find the default VTube folder in public documents quickly.

Some of our customers are building huge databases of VTube project files. In order to help manage the data, VTube can now output a comma-delimited batch report of the data in all project files in any folder.

Load the batch reporter in the Report menu of either STEP mode of LASER mode:

This is a sample report file:

If the batch reporter finds files with 0 or negative length straights, then it will issue a WARNING at the end of the report log and create a second report file containing a list of all the project files with these lengths:

The collected objects are now saved and recalled to and from VTube project files. (In previous versions, they were automatically erased.)

• Fixed a bug where the XYZ would be deleted if the Collection process was still active just before the centerline calculation was started.
