ENHANCED: Modified the SMI TXT Output

Per the new SMI specification, the SMI TXT file now includes the two comment fields at the bottom of the output file.

NEW: Added Crippa SPF File Export

The new CRIPPA export capability allows for easy export to CRIPPA UII software. The format is a text file that is compatible with most CRIPPA benders that were released in early 2012 and on. The bender data format is similar to the standard format, except that, for most CRIPPA benders, the rotations move in the opposite direction than most other benders. (CRIPPA standard: Clockwise is positive). VTube automatically builds the data, including reversed rotations into the SPF file. The format includes the bender data and the cut length. Here is an example: Creates this data: R101=60.33 R131=0.00 R161=90.00 R102=50.80 R132=135.00 R162=90.00 R103=50.80 R133=0.00 R163=90.00 R104=50.80 R134=-135.00 R164=90.00 R105=50.80 R135=-1.00 R165=90.00 R106=50.80 R136=-90.00 R166=90.00 R107=50.80 R137=-90.00 R167=90.00 R108=111.13 R138=0.00 R168=0.00 R6=606.82 M17 See more in the CRIPPA page.

NEW: Pulldown Menus

VTube now has pulldown menus. The menus are also floating because they can be pulled off the pulldown and moved anywhere on the screen during the current session.

NEW: Recent Project List in the Pulldown Menus

Recent Projects can be reloaded with one click from the File pulldown menu.

NEW: Real "Save" Command Distinct from "Save As..."

VTube now allows you to save the current project without having to supply the current filename again. Hit the blue disk, and VTube will save the data without any interruption.

NEW: Low Level User Interface Value: Maximum Recent Files

Use this to control how many files display in the Recent Project list in the pulldown menu. The default is 10 files.

NEW: Hardware Key Information Window

The new hardware key window will show the details of your license found in the hardware key that enables VTube to run. The command to display the window is inside the new Help pulldown menu.

ENHANCED: Allow the Drawing of ZERO Value Radii

VTube can now draw a zero-radius bend in the model with displaying an error.
