ENHANCED: Import SolidWorks 3DSketch Into VTube
|
VTube can now import tubes from SolidWorks. This means that the loop is closed between VTube and SolidWorks. VTube can build parametrically constrained tubes in SolidWorks as well as import parametric tubes.
1 - Draw the tube centerline in 3DSketch. The centerline can have intersecting lines or not (VTube can figure it out). Include fillets so that VTube can extract the radii too. You can even draw tubes with contiguous arcs (where the arcs touch each other without straights). VTube can even handle 180 degree bends. 2 - While SolidWorks is in 3DSketch mode, switch to VTube and import the 3DSketch. Before importing the sketch, you can even enter a diameter and wall thickness. |

ENHANCED: Point Labels Draw More Efficiently
|
The point labels and end labels now draw more efficiently than before in both VTube-LASER and VTube-STEP modes. Now they only draw after the orbit pauses. This makes orbiting much faster. Also, the label redraw logic was fixed during part load so that the user no longer has to manually redraw the part to fix the label positions. |
|
UPDATED: Chinese, Japanese, German, Spanish Translations Updated
|
All the language files are updated for VTube. This update includes the new button hints for buttons that have no captions. The GERMAN translation for the toolbar buttons is too wide, so only the GERMAN hints for thoses buttons displays. |
|
FIX: Clearing a VTube project will also clear the Import Excel Grids in the Import Excel XLS Window
|
The grids in this menu were never cleared with the project clear. This has been fixed so that they clear to an empty grid.
|
|
Other Changes
- The installation program now defaults to installing the Windows version of open dialog rather than the Quick Load dialogs. Most customers prefer the Windows dialog. (The Quick Load was designed for the shop floor environment.)
- The VTube user interface has a slightly updated look to the controls.
- Components would not display the new language loaded until after VTube was restarted. This has been fixed.
Other
- Back to VTube-STEP
- Back to VTube Software Updates (for LASER Mode)
- Back to VTube-LASER
