Version 4.3 Build 1689, November 13, 2024

1 - VTube-STEP has improved logic for STEP, IGES, and STL imports for customers that use slower networks.

The VTube import method cannot handle non-ASCII characters in the path name. Therefore, VTube copies the imported filename to a path and filename that uses standard ASCII characters that always work for the VTube importer. However, the copy can cause problems for slower networks - causing the previous STEP model to be loaded. Therefore, the new logic will copy files to temporary legal names only if non-visible ASCII codes are found in the path or filename.
