| Rewritten specifically for 32 bit Windows
|
Long filenames. Resizable window. Open GL graphics. 3-D input from devices like MicroScribe.
|
|
Low learning curve
|
Many of the paradigms that current TubeCAD users are familiar with are preserved in the new version - but with new power.
|
Completely New
Network License Manager
|
We have developed a new Network License Manager software
package that much easier to install and maintain. Plus
there are other benefits:
There is no more 5-license minimum requirement. One license is enough!
For a limited time, you can order a Network Site license for only $500
There is no more replacement of hardware keys when you want to
upgrade to a network site license. This is how it works:
Step 1 - We E-mail you the License Manager software for your server
Step 2 - You plug your current TubeCAD Pro key into the server
Step 3 - You run TubeCAD Pro and enter the server's IP address.
Step 4 - Use TubeCAD Pro.
|
| Programmable Menus, Tool Bars, and Command Line
|
TubeCAD Pro menus are completely programmable.
The new tool bars are programmable. (You can even control the
graphic image in the tool!)
Even the text used used in the command line is programmable.
|
| True Assembly Layouts
|
Enter any number of tubes into one layout inside the General Specs menu. (No
more combining layout files.)
|
| Unlimited number of tubes and points
|
No more memory limitations that were imposed by the DOS version.
Try this for power: You can easily enter the coordinates for 10 tubes, each with 50
bends into TubeCAD. It will automatically-parametrically draw 500 true bends and 490 rotation views,
all neatly ordered for you in a single layout. |
| Independently control each tube view
|
Setup each view independently, or control them as a group. This means that you
can now show one view with OD outlines while another view shows the OD with
surface shading. This independent control includes every view of every tube -
including true views (both bend and rotation).
|
| Full Layer Control
|
Now you control the organization of layers in TubeCAD. Use one layer for all entities or organize the layers anyway you want.
|
| Font Types Using True Type
|
TubeCAD Pro uses True Type Windows' fonts in the charts on the layout.
The Style command allows you to pre-define TEXT STYLES using True Type fonts.
|
| New Color Control
|
TubeCAD Pro allows you to use CAD-style color charts to set the entity colors.
The colors are mapped so that they are AutoCAD-compatible.
|
|
Tube Forms and Hidden Geometry in OD Outlines
|
TubeCAD Pro draws tube modifications in any OD mode - even in outlines.
It even draws the hidden lines of the modifications and tube-profiles - if you want that kind of detail.
|
| Tube Forms True Views
|
In fact, OD outlines or meshes with tube modifications can now be displayed in any view.
This means that even TRUE BEND and TRUE ROTATION VIEWS can show end-forms.
|
| Unlimited Preceding/Following Leg Count
|
Any number of preceding/following legs in any true-view or rotation-view can be displayed. For example, you can display the entire tube in true bend 1, then show only part of the tube in the remainder of the true bends.
|
| File-Compatible With Older TubeCADs
|
You can still read your older TubeCAD files, so you've not lost any of your
current investment.
We don't trouble you with terms like "import". We just allowing you to load the older file data and automatically convert it for you to the new super-efficient binary format. |
| Smarter Block-Up Label Placement
|
Block-up labels are now smarter - they know that they need to find the position along a straight where the distance to the work surface is a nominal value (like 20 millimeters rather than 20.093 millimeters). You control the interval size from one nominal value to the next (like every 1 millimeter)
|
| Unlimited Block-Ups Per Straight
|
Now an unlimited number of block-up labels per straight can be switched ON.
(TubeCAD used to
only allow one per straight.) That limitation is gone!
|
| New Block-Up Style
|
A new enhanced style of block-up labels is included in addition to the classic style.
|
| New Properties Editor
|
The new Properties Editor is a very powerful on-screen tool for changing the
hundreds of layout properties quickly. It responds to on-screen selections:
Select the object or objects on the screen (like a true bend view)
Right click to show a pop-up context menu.
Select "Properties" in the menu
Edit any of the true bend view setup values in the editor that appears on top
|
| Attach Tubes To Other Tubes
|
TubeCAD allows you to attach any tube to any other tube.
When the primary tube rotates, then the attached tube also rotates.
|
| New - UNDO and REDO
|
You can now undo and redo changes in TubeCAD!
TubeCAD Pro allows you to control the number of levels of Undo commands
you can perform. Allow 10, 100, 1000 - your choice!
|
| New - MRU List Control
|
Also known as Most Recently Used file list. TubeCAD Pro
can remember any number of files that you've used previously. You can
load them with the click of your mouse
|
| New - 3RD or 1ST Angle Projection Modes!
|
Engineers around the world differ in the methods of
view projection. For example, Americans often project using 3RD Angle
projection, and many Germans are trained with 1ST Angle
projection.
TubeCAD Pro allows either, so choose the system that works
best for you.
|
| IntelliCAD Still Included!
|
We bundle the IntelliCAD package in TubeCAD Pro to allow you
to further modify your tube layout in an AutoCAD-like package.
Transferring data couldn't be easier: Enter "ICAD" in the command line
and your layout is transferred automatically to IntelliCAD. (You can also type
"ACAD" if you want to automate the transfer to AutoCAD. |
| NEW - Send Data To Benders
|
Send master tube data directly to benders
through a network connection using the Supravision Network
protocol.
Set the network path, then send the data automatically.
