Revision 1.83

Check.jpg NEW: Side Menus Are Collapsible and Expandable

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.

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

Check.jpg NEW: Function Key Shortcuts

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 PAN mode
  • F7 = Viewport to ZOOM WINDOW mode
  • F8 = Tube: Toggle End Labels
  • F9 = Tube: Toggle Intersection Point Labels
  • F12 = Delete selected graphics objects

Check.jpg FIX: Supravision Export of End Offsets

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.


Check.jpg NEW: Toolbar "Save As" Button

The new Save As button allows you to save the current part as a new part file.

Check.jpg NEW: TubeCalc Elongation Converter

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.

Check.jpg Other Changes

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

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