VTube-STEP v1.77.3

Revision 1.77.3 Back to VTube-STEP Back to VTube-STEP Revisions Back to VTube-LASER

UPDATED: View Orientation Control

The View Orientation Control has new choices with graphics icons of each axes orientation. You can click on the button or the image to find a new orientation.

NEW: End Lengths Change in Diameter Model with End Adjustment Length Values

When the A-End or B-End Adjustment Lengths change, then the diameter model lengths change automatically at the next redraw. This does not change the centerline end point location.

REPAIR: Cut Length Calculation with End Adjustments

The End Length Adjustments were doubled in the Cut Length calculation. This is repaired in this version.

NEW: New End Length Adjustment Fields

These new fields allow you to dynamically adjust the end lengths during calculation of the bender data LENGTH columns. These values act like the TubeCalc material end length fields - and allows that data to be imported.

ENHANCED: Changed End Trim Offset Field Names

The original End Trim Offset field names were changed by default to "Solid Model Offset" to reflect how these values are used in VTube. These values adjust the end point location relative to the solid model when the centerline is calculated from the solid model.

NEW: Reset Origin to Zero in XYZ Data

Now you can reset the origin in the XYZ data to ZERO in VTube-STEP.

REPAIR: TubeCalc Project File Linear Units Import Properly

Linear units are now always properly imported into VTube from TubeCalc files. Previous versions would sometimes improperly interpret the Inch or Millimeter setting in the TubeCalc file.

ENHANCED: The Linear Units Switches to the Import File Units

VTube now always switches to the linear units used in the imported TubeCalc, Solid Edge, or Supravision file.

ENHANCED: TubeCalc Project Imports Include More Values

The following values were added to TubeCalc imports in this version:

From TubeCalc		To VTube
Customer Name		Customer
Material Name		Material Spec
User		Author
Material Offset 1		A-End Length Adjust
Material Offset 2		B-End Length Adjust
Measuring Center Offset A		A-End Measured Offset
Measuring Center Offset B		B-End Measured Offset

FIXED: Projection Tolerances Now Change Units Properly

The projection tolerance now handles a change in linear units properly. Projection tolerances allow VTube to know how precise it must be to qualify a projection intersection as successful. Some models have less precise surfaces - so the tolerance needs to be increased for a successful calculation of centerline.

ENHANCED: Report Formatting Updated

The report formatting is updated with larger and bolder tiles.
