How to Export a Supravision File

Back to VTube-STEP Back to VTube-LASER

STEP 1 - Import a Solid Model or Manually Enter Part Data in VTube

You can enter centerline coordinates, bender data, or import data using one of the import formats - like import a STEP model of a tube. Some imports require further processing before you output to Supravision. For example, you need to use the collect process on STEP and IGES models - which is like measuring the tube with a mouse. Then you can calculate the centerline coordinates. Before you can export Supravison data, you must have data in the Tube Data menu describing the tube shape.

STEP 2 - Enter the Import/Export Menu button in the Navigation Pane

Click on the Import/Export button in the Navigation Pane. Now click on the EXPORT Supravision button in the EXPORT section of the menu.

About Supravision Files

Supravision files usually have a filename extension of $$$. They are text files that contain part setup, XYZ, and LRA data usually. They were used by Supravision software to save and load Supravision project files - so they contain a lot of data that VTube understands. (Supravision software was retired a few years ago by ROMER. It was one of the standards in the industry for decades.)
