Need tubing software!

[mfoster]

Hello,

I have been searching for a tubing software that can help process bent tubes. Currently we are using Autodesk Inventor to do our design work. And we send our models to ArtTube before the parts go to the tube laser. The problem is that ArtTube will only take straight runs of tubing. Any part with a bend has to be drawn out in a straight run, and this gets very time consuming with more complicated tubes. The saddles have to be redrawn also. So, I am needing software to take a bent tube, and flatten it out before it gets sent to ArtTube, and ArtTube needs a step file for the best translation.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Matt

The program is ArcTube, not ArtTube...
