Export as Parametric Tubes

VTube-LASER exports CAM2 Measure 10 parametric tube files for measuring brackets and components around the tube. Both the MASTER and the MEASURED tube shapes can be exported in the FILE tab sub-menus for each tube centerline.

Importing to CAM2

Use the Import/Export option in the File pulldown menu to import the CAM2 file that VTube builds.

The tube shapes can be imported into CAM2 as NOMINAL (VTube MASTER), or ACTUAL (VTube MEASURED).

Benefit 1 - Built-in Automated Process for Measuring Tubes

The benefit of using VTube-LASER for tube scanning is that VTube-LASER has built-in knowledge of measuring tube shapes. When you measure a tube with VTube, the methods for gathering the information and calculating the centerline, intersection points, and bend data are preprogrammed as a series of steps that never have to be scripted by a user into VTube-LASER. VTube knows what you should give it, and it will always request that data in order using the Tube Measuring menu.

Benefit 2 - Built in Feedback to Increase Confidence in Data

VTube-LASER has special procedures that that verify the level of confidence you should have in the incoming data. There are series of crosschecks just for measuring tubing, both mathematical and on-screen, that allow users to know if the data is good.
