__NOTOC__



== STEP 1 - Enter Part Data in VTube==

<table>

<tr valign=top>
<td width=300>
You can enter centerline coordinates, bender data, or import data using one of the import formats - like import a STEP model of a tube.<br><br>
Some imports require further processing before you output to Supravision.  For example, you need to use the collect process on STEP and IGES models - which is like measuring the tube with a mouse.  Then you can calculate the centerline coordinates.<br><br>
Before you can export Supravison data, you must have data in the Tube Data menu describing the tube shape.

== About Supravision Files==

<table>

<tr valign=top>
<td width=300>
Supravision files usually have a filename extension of $$$.<br><br>
They are text files that contain part setup, XYZ, and LRA data usually.<br><br>
They were used by [[Supravision]] software to save and load Supravision project files - so they contain a lot of data that VTube understands.<br><br>
(Supravision software was retired a few years ago by ROMER.  It was one of the standards in the industry for decades.)
