NEW: Square and Rectangular Tubes

VTube will handle square and rectangular tube shapes when this version is released.

NEW: Automatic Build to SolidWorks

VTube can now automatically build a parametric 3DSketch tube in SolidWorks. VTube uses automation features to become the user and draw the part in SolidWorks 3DSketch, then sweep the diameter and shell the part is a wall thickness value is greater than zero. If SolidWorks is not loaded, then VTube will attempt to load SolidWorks first. If SolidWorks is already open, then VTube will create a new part in a new window automatically.

FIX: Multiple Split Bend LRA Data

Multiple split bends in VTube-STEP would cause miscalculations in the LRA grid. This has been repaired. Also repaired: The compressed to decompressed LRA procedure now works properly.

Other Changes

Overbend Calculator is now integrated into VTube. The values are now always updated and transferred back to VTube as they are entered in the Overbend. The collection process now switched from Orbit mode to Selection mode automatically. You no longer have to manually switch to View mode first. Fixed default radius bug for single straight tubes. Removed confirmation of collection object delete.
