VTube-LASER v2.8.3

Revision 2.8.3 Original Release Date: Not Yet Released Latest Build: Back to VTube-LASER Back to VTube Software Updates (for LASER Mode) Download in updates the VTube-LASER Support Page

NEW: Addata ZModem Communications Protocol

We've added an Addata ZModem communications protocol also known as the Addison "Non-Standard Device Interface".

This protocol allows you to setup the COM port configuration to match the configuration at the other end of the serial port connection. Set the protocol to Addata ZModem, then click on the COM port cell to display this COM port configuration dialog. See VTube-LASER Addata ZModem Communications Protocol for more information.

ENHANCED: NUMALLIANCE BENDER OUTPUT HANDLES 180-DEGREE BENDS

OUTPUTS 180-DEGREE BENDS The NUMALLIANCE CSV export now compresses SPLIT BENDS into a single 180-degree bends during export to the NUMALLIANCE CSV. OUTPUTS SPRINGBACK-COMPENSATED DATA The NUMALLIANCE CSV export now includes springback-compenstation if you choose that option during export.

ENHANCED: SUPRAVISION IMPORT HANDLES DATA WITH NO CENTERLINE XYZ POINTS

VTube requires XYZ coordinates for the parametric tube data. However, some Supravision files contain only bender data with no centerline XYZ data. VTube now detects this situation and automatically reverse-calculates to create a new set of XYZ data when necessary.

ENHANCED: DOCS IMPORT SETS THE PART NUMBER to the INCOMING FILENAME

Previous versions of VTube would use the actual DOCS part number of "Part 1", "Part 2", etc., in the VTube Part Number. A customer that imports DOCS files into VTube requested that the VTube Part Number be set to the incoming filename. We made this change in this version.

OTHER CHANGES

Some changes were made to parametric calculations so that the imported model does not randomly delete after calculation.
