Revision 2.2

Check.jpg ENHANCED: Improved Cut Plane Features

Moved Cut Plane Button to Top

CUT PLANE has become more important as of the release of FARO's v6 HD blue laser scanner. The Cut Plane button has been moved to the top of the Measure Process menu.

Improved Cut Plane Offset Menu

The CUT PLANE OFFSET menu has been improved so that the offset value automatically receives FOCUS when loading this window. You can type the new value immediately, and then press the ENTER key to close the window (a new feature also).

Check.jpg NEW: User Interface Changes

VTube Project Filename Box

  • There is a new current VTube Project filename box in the upper left corner. This box now shows the entire path of the current project file, so that there is no doubt about which file will be saved if you press the Save button. The text in this box can be selected and copied to the clipboard.

Pulldown Menu

  • The pulldown menu no longer stays open on the screen after a project load.

  • The pulldown menu now immediately updates the most recently used file list when you SAVE a new project.

Check.jpg NEW: Handles International Floating Point with Commas

VTube-LASER can now handle non-decimal formats of floating point numbers during measurement. This allows floating point numbers that use commas to work in VTube-LASER.

Check.jpg NEW: System Option Folder Icons

The new icons in System Options help you know where each value is stored - either as a GLOBAL value for all projects, or as a UNIQUE setup for every project file.

This folder indicates that the value is stored in the persistent configuration file. This means that the value will be the same for all projects.

Vtube folder cubes.png Cubes Folder Icon

This folder indicates that the value is stored in the project file. This means that the value can be unique for all projects.

Check.jpg NEW: MAJOR Features Added to STEP Mode

STEP mode has these two new features:

  • Unbend any bend.

  • Select solid model components and unbend them with tube straights.

See VTube-STEP v2.1 for details.

Check.jpg Other Changes

  • CONFIGURATION PATH CHANGE: The VTube configuration file location was in "c:\ProgramData\VTube", but this caused issues for some customers with computers using restricted rights. Now it is moved to the "C:\Users\Public\Documents\VTube\Config" folder - which is open for all users with multiple Windows logins.

  • APLINE M4 EXPORT CHANGE: The Alpine M4 Export now includes springback compensation with overbend in the bender data if the springback checkbox is selected.

  • VIEWPORT CHANGE: The DELETE key can now delete selected models from the screen. (Only F12 would delete models in previous versions.)
