NEW: "Supplier" Field in Part Setup

Some of our customers receive parts from suppliers, so we've added a "Supplier" field in the Part Setup menu. This data is saved in the project files. This feature also includes the added report tags that allow for the values with springback to be placed anywhere in the report: "Supplier" And it is used in a report template like this: <vtube_val>Supplier</vtube_val>

NEW: IMPORT Template Feature in Report Menu

The report menu was reorganized and an IMPORT feature was added to simplify the import of REPORT TEMPLATES into your VTube system. Choose the html report to import, and VTube automatically copies it into the system and adds it to the template list.
