Build 33 - NEW: ASSEMBLY FEATURE ALLOWS MULTIPLE PARTS IN ONE VTUBE PROJECT

With the new Assembly button in the toolbar, you can import and work with an assembly of tubes into VTube-STEP. The Assembly Control window allows VTube to hold several parts in memory at the same time. The data in the user interface on the left is displayed when you select a part in the list in the Assembly Control. The row with the GREEN square represents the data shown in the menus on the left. Works for VTube-LASER Setup Too You can use this new capability to import and measure any tube or even cylinder on an assembly. Any cylinder, square, or rectangle can be included in the assembly in VTube-STEP - and then transferred to VTube-LASER for measuring. If you look closely at the image on the right, you will see that the end flange and holes have been selected - and can then be measured by VTube-LASER.

Build 37 - NEW: IMPORT MULTIPLE SOLID EDGE OR SUPRAVISION FILES

Import multiple SOLID EDGE or SUPRAVISION files at one time into an ASSEMBLY.

Build 37 - NEW: CONTROL and FUNCTION Keys Work From Within Floating Control Windows

In previous versions of VTube, when floating control windows were displayed, it was necessary to click on the blue viewport before pressing any of the VTube short-cut keys for the keys to have any effect. Example short-cut keys are F2 for REDRAW or F3 for ZOOM ALL. Now you can press the short-cut keys from within any of the floating windows.

Build 1 - NEW: GRAPHICS ENGINE with NEW TRIHEDRON

The solid modeling engine was updated with subtle changes. For example, the trihedron is now a 3D solid model rather than the older stick figure.

Build 37 - NEW: IMPORT SOLID EDGE XPRESROUTE FILES WITH XYZ or LRA DATA

Previous versions of VTube could only import XpresRoute files that contained LRA bender data. Now VTube can import different kinds of XpresRoute files - either centerline XYZ or LRA bender data.
