VTube-LASER v2.9.17

Revision 2.9.17 Release Date: Unreleased Current Build: 2 Back to VTube-LASER Back to VTube-LASER Updates See also VTube-STEP Updates Download updates the Support Page

NEW - Scan and Measure Point Clouds

VTube-LASER now handles point clouds in storage we call "buckets." This allows you to scan anything into VTube-LASER - not just tubes. With this feature: Scan point clouds into list of point cloud buckets using the LASER scanner. Turn buckets of points on our off. Select points on the screen then press DELETE to delete them from the buckets. Measure the distance between any two points. Transfer the point clouds into SOLIDWORKS. Transfer the point clouds into an ASCII file for use in any other program. Point clouds are stored and recalled to/from the VTube-LASER project file. Point cloud changes are stored in the UNDO memory. If you delete the wrong set of points - just press UNDO. Set the color of each bucket of point clouds.

NEW - Automatic Reset Straight Count at Measure

If VTube-LASER starts a measure setup with ZERO straights, then it automatically resets to the MASTER straight count.

NEW - MAX Points for Cylinder Stripes Is Now 50

Through some experimentation, any point count above 50 per stripe is not helpful in VTube-LASER. For example, as you approach 1000 points per stripe, it slows the math engine significantly and actually causes more Cylinder Fit problems than it solves. VTube-LASER will now allow up to 50 points per stripe for measuring cylinders - never more.
