Revision 2.8.5 Original Release Date: July 26, 2017 Latest Build: 1 Back to VTube-LASER Back to VTube-LASER Updates See also VTube-STEP Updates Download in updates the VTube-LASER Support Page

NEW - REORGANIZED DATA HANDLING MENU

We've reorganized the Data Handling menu by splitting it into three separate tab menus because we have plans for more features in this menu in the future. The only new button added is "IMPORT Only PART SETUP and MASTER data from VTube Project (VTP) File" (See below for details.)

BUILD 1 - NEW: IMPORT ONLY MASTER DATA FROM VTP FILES

This new feature allows you to import the MASTER TUBE DATA and PART SETUP DATA ALONE from inside a VTP (VTube Project) file into the current project. WHAT DATA IS IMPORTED? This a list of data that is imported with this feature: WHY IS THIS FEATURE IMPORTANT? This allows you to import older VTube-LASER project file MASTER data without disturbing NEWER default measure value setup parameters. OVERALL PROCESS The overall process is almost identical to loading a project file. However, this process starts in the Data Handling/File menu.

HOW TO FIND THIS FEATURE

Build 1 - NEW: SEARCH AND MOVE IN PATH MANAGER

VTube now lets you search for path names in the Path Manager. It also allows you to move the paths up or down in the lost.

BUILD 1 - REMOVED "Move Arm from Cradle" MESSAGE

This message appeared when loading VTube-LASER projects on older arms. This message is no longer displayed because it is not needed with then newer FARO drivers.

BUILD 1 - CTRL-S SAVES THE PROJECT THEN BRINGS LASER WINDOW TO THE FRONT

This fixes an issue where the Ctrl-S would bring the STEP mode window to the foreground when saving VTube-LASER projects. Now the VTube-LASER window moves back to the top after the save.
