VTube Update History 4.4 - May, 2025
Version 4.4, Build 1833 - May 20, 2025
1 - We fixed the action when pressing the Inspection Gear button for Precision Weight Control.
It now shows the correct menu below.
Version 4.4, Build 1832 - May 19, 2025
1 - We added report tokens to allow Correction-Percentage filtered LRA data from the Bender Setup menu.
Now, these reduced LRA correction values can be shown in reports. The left screens show where the percentages are set in Bender Setup. The right screen displays the unfiltered and the filtered corrections in the same report.
The new tokens to allow this are:
| LRACOUNT_BENDSETUP | This token controls the count for the Bender Setup LRA arrays in report templates. |
| array_length_adjustments_bendersetup | This array token allows you to configure Bender Setup LENGTH adjustments in report rows. |
| array_rotation_adjustments_bendersetup | This array token allows you to configure Bender Setup ROTATION adjustments in report rows. |
| array_bend_adjustments_bendersetup | This array token allows you to configure Bender Setup BEND ANGLE adjustments in report rows. |
Add this new iteration section to a report template to show this data in a report.
<table class="table_lra"> <tr> <th class="th_xyz_index">Bend</th> <th class="th_xyz">Length</th> <th class="th_xyz">Rotation</th> <th class="th_xyz">Angle</th> </tr> <vtube_iterate section=LRACOUNT_BENDSETUP> <tr> <td class="td_index"><vtube_val>Array_INDEX</vtube_val></td> <td class="td_xyz"><vtube_val>array_length_adjustments_bendersetup</vtube_val></td> <td class="td_xyz"><vtube_val>array_rotation_adjustments_bendersetup</vtube_val></td> <td class="td_xyz"><vtube_val>array_bend_adjustments_bendersetup</vtube_val></td> </tr> </vtube_iterate> </table>
2 - The Correction-Percentage Setup values can be displayed.
LRA Correction- Percentage filtered values are controlled in the Bender Setup menu. The current values can be displayed in any report.
The new tokens to allow this are:
| length_correctionpercentage_bendersetup | This token allows you to include the current LENGTH Correction Percentage in reports. |
| rotation_correctionpercentage_bendersetup | This token allows you to include the current ROTATION Correction Percentage in reports. |
| bend_correctionpercentage_bendersetup | This token allows you to include the current BEND ANGLE Correction Percentage in reports. |
This is a sample report template section that displays the percentages in a report.

Version 4.4, Build 1829 - May 12, 2025
1 - The alignment types have been reordered in the dropdown combo boxes to group the best-fit algorithms first and together.
The new order is:
2 - The Bender correction report templates have been improved to manage paper space better.
Customers who upgrade and want these improved templates can contact michelle.licciardi@advancedtubular.com for instructions on importing the improved templates .
Version 4.4, Build 1827 - May 7, 2025
1 - VTube can now automatically change the project default state when changing measuring devices in the Select Measuring Device menu.
This helps customers who use different measuring devices, each with its own configuration needs, to allow for on-the-fly changes to the Measure Setup.
For example, a Metronor M-Scan needs the LASER turned on by default in the Measure Setup LASER menu. But the Metronor LightPen needs the LASER switched to OFF in the same menu. Owners of the M-Scan will almost always have the LightPen available as an option during measurement in the same project.
So we added this feature to make switching default configurations between different measuring devices quick and easy.
Principles for the New Feature in "Select Measure Device"
- The drop-down combo boxes in the Select Measure Device menu contain available project default state names based on the System Options>Project Setup>Store Default States menu.
- When switching measuring devices, the current default project state will be overwritten with the new default state file if a state name other than "None" is selected for the active measuring device.
- Without clearing the project, VTube-LASER will automatically update its Measure Setup menu using the new default state variables. This will allow for changing measuring devices in the same project while in the middle of a measurement.
- If a named default project state for any measuring device in Select Measure Device is no longer available in System Options >Project Setup > Store Default States, then the name will revert to "None," effectively turning this feature off for that measuring device.
2 - We reorganized the point cloud control Probe section to clarify the user interface reference to Point Cloud Bucket numbers.
3 - Progress was made on the Chiyoda EX File Server (not yet released).
(This is scheduled to be released in May of 2025.)
