Check.jpgNEW - VTUBE-STEP MODE AUTOMATIC NEGATIVE STRAIGHT FIX DURING PARAMETRIC REBUILD

(Note: VTube-STEP is included in the VTube-LASER license. It is used for importing model data.)

Models with a 180-degree or greater bend angles can often create a very small negative straight distance value. We've added this feature to allow you to detect and fix this situation automatically by injecting a value of zero where there are negative straights.

Pressing YES will change the shape of the part. However, if the negative straight is very small, then changing the shape will have no significance and will create a part that is close enough to the nominal to still be a good shape for use as MASTER data.

This feature also allows you to skip the fix by pressing "NO." If you do this, then you can still manually adjust the radii to smaller values after the rebuild. Of course, if you skip this fix, then VTube may have trouble generating the diameter - and may even generate and display a program error that you can usually bypass.

Check.jpgFIX- VTUBE-STEP MODE COLLECTION SELECTION ISSUE

(Note: VTube-STEP is included in the VTube-LASER license. It is used for importing model data.)

We found issues with the collected objects in VTube-STEP mode.

  • For example, the selected collected object (see the orange object) would never delete from the screen - even if the operator selected it and pressed delete.

  • This issue could cause index errors in the Collection Features list memory displayed in the grid.

  • The Collection Features Grid would not update automatically after a delete of the models on the screen.

All of these issues have been fixed.
