NEW - ENTER FRACTION VALUES for FLOATING POINT in PART SETUP, XYZ GRIDS, and LRA GRIDS

We discovered a customer that had to manually convert Imperial fractional units from a tube print. So we taught VTube how to accept fraction values in the PART SETUP, XYZ GRIDS, and LRA GRIDS. The form VTube-LASER and VTube-STEP uses is identical to the AutoCAD standard for fraction entry. If you know that standard, then you already know the VTube standard. Many customers still use inches in data entry. If you do, then try this after you install this new version: Go to the Part Setup menu and type in the tube diameter using a fractional form. Enter 3/16, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, etc. (That's the way we old-school designers and engineers still think.) Acceptable Fraction Forms "10-3/8" converts to 10.375 "-10-3/8" converts to -10.375 "+10-3/8" converts to 10.375 "3/8" converts to 0.375 "-3/8" converts to -0.375 "3 / 8" converts to 0.375 Rule Breaker Examples 10 3/8 = Error (no dash between the 10 and the 3/8) 10-3/0 = Error (division by zero)

NEW - VTUBE IS NOW COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEW FARO 8-AXIS USB DRIVER (6.2.0.26)

Previous versions of VTube-LASER will not read the ball probe values with this new driver. Version 2.9.14 was changed to work with this new FARO driver. In fact, this FARO driver is highly recommended as long as you have this version of VTube-LASER or newer. You can download this latest FARO driver from this support page.

FIXED - COULD NOT CLEAR ALL CUT PLANES from the CUT PLANE LIST)

We discovered that, when you delete the entire list of Cut Planes, VTube-LASER will always bring at least one of them back. This has been fixed.
