Check.jpg REPAIR: VTube SolidWorks Builder

The Builder would not always build the part in SolidWorks because of a file path problem. This has been repaired in this version.

Check.jpg NEW: Export Dialog Windows With Configurable Paths

  • New Export dialog windows are now present for every type of file export with new features.

  • Persistent Export Paths: Every type of export now has its own unique output path setting that is remembered in the VTube persistent local configuration file. This allows you to set a unique path for your common exports. As long as the path continues to exist, VTube will never forget to use that path as default for export for that file type.

  • Display Data in Notepad++: VTube can automatically display the file created in Notepad++ after it is exported.

  • Template File Edit: For export styles that require a template file for merging exported data to, VTube allows operators to edit the file before exporting.

Check.jpg ENHANCEMENTS and FIXES: Import/Export Panels

  • The Import/Export menu is now designed to be a vertically expanding menu to give more room to the buttons that are needed most. Click on Import or Export headers to expand that section in the Import/Export menu.

  • Custom images of each bender are shown. The images now respond to clicking as well as the flat buttons to the right.


  • Import/Export Panels ordering bug fixed: The Import and Export buttons would not always reorder properly after the order of the buttons was changed in the setup window. This has been repaired.

  • Scrolling enhanced: The scrollbar in the panels now tracks smoothly. As you move the scrollbar, the panels also move.

Check.jpg Other Changes

  • Fixed main window maximize issue. VTube now starts in the proper maximized state.

  • Model Undo / Redo is now active. This will allow you to undo changes to imported models.

  • The ViewPort popup menu has more items, including redraw and zoom all. Not all of the items worked in previous versions. They all work now.

  • Several of the support packages that install with VTube are updated: Notepad++, Cute PDF driver, GhostScript, HASP hardware key driver, and the Keycheck utility.
