VTube-LASER v2.9

Revision 2.9 Original Release Date: November 1, 2017 Latest Build: 75 Back to VTube-LASER Back to VTube-LASER Updates See also VTube-STEP Updates Download in updates the VTube-LASER Support Page

NEW - ASSEMBLY

VTube now allows you to include multiple tubes in a single project. Add new tubes to existing tubes. Measure all the tubes together. Align all the tubes at the same time or separately.

ENHANCED - Bender NUMBER in BENDER SETUP Saved and Recalled with Project File

Customers that have many benders prefer to have the bender number saved in the project file because it is normal to associate the project with a bender. So now VTube saves the Bender Setup bender number to the project file.

ENHANCED - REMOVED "KEEP CUT PLANE" DIALOG

Customers never choose any other option than to keep the current cut plane, so we removed this dialog to save time.

ENHANCED: END SCAN PLACEMENT IS MUCH IMPROVED

The end scan algorithm in version 2.9 much faster than previous versions and is it also much better at finding the correct furthest point in the scan. This makes end scans much easier.

NEW: END POINT DIMENSION DURING MEASUREMENT

VTube now automatically draws a linear dimension in the viewport between the scanned point and the final offset point to confirm that the distance is correct.

NEW: IMPORT VECTOR LASERVISION PRT FILES

VTube can now import Laservision PRT files. It can import single PRT files. It can import multiple PRT files into a single assembly. It can batch-convert multiple PRT file into a folder of VTube project files (VTP).

BUILD 1 - REMOVED "Move Arm from Cradle" MESSAGE

This message appeared when loading VTube-LASER projects on older arms. This message is no longer displayed because it is not needed with then newer FARO drivers.

BUILD 1 - CTRL-S SAVES THE PROJECT THEN BRINGS LASER WINDOW TO THE FRONT

This fixes an issue where the Ctrl-S would bring the STEP mode window to the foreground when saving VTube-LASER projects. Now the VTube-LASER window moves back to the top after the save.
