The USAF asked us to add a feature that allowed for splitting a very sharp-angled bend into two adjacent half-bends.

This is useful for when a very high bend angle throws its intersection point far from the tube and then creates unreliably high swings in the tangent deviation and bender correction data.

Use this new feature with the SPLIT BEND measuring feature.

Follow these steps to use with Split Bend Measuring

1 - Select the bend to split in an LRA grid.

2 - Right click.

3 - Choose "Split Selected Bend into Two Bends"

4 - In the Bend Setup tab above the XYZ data, click on Split Bend Setup.

5 - In the Split Bend Setup window, set the STRAIGHT with the ZERO straight length to "Split Bend at Apex" (It will equal the BEND number + 1). Watch the data compress and highlight in the LRA grid when you exit the window.

See VTube-LASER Split Bend Feature for details on the Split Bend measuring feature.
