During the manual measurement ,we don't have the option to select the tips from the jog box, instead of that every time we need to select the tips from the software screen.

For fixed probe head user this option would be very use full for circle and point measurement. Every time we no need to go to the screen for tip selection.

Or else you can introduce the auto circle selection from the CAD by using star probe so that we can define the no tips and we can add the safe moves.

In program mode, programming on cad, create a mouse button combo that would create the feature instead of having to hit end on the keyboard 

Maybe left + right mouse button clicked together

Not sure a request like this has been filed.  Most customers in Medical device, swap the calibration spheres on production CMMs as part of the artifact annual calibration  process.  A calibrated/certified sphere is placed on the machine and the prior one is sent out for calibration.  Process repeats.

The issue if that any and all defined probes on that CMM have to be manually updated (including any Parameter sets) to reflect the new sphere to be used.  This a very tedious and prone to error task that requires CMM support personnel.
Would be nice to have a tool in PCDMIS or maybe even INSPECT that allows user to confirm or edit the calibration tool the AUTOCALIBRATE is to use. Or a tool that allows user to Globally update all current probes in the system, or a select list of probe files.
Customers running in Operator mode when clicking on Calibrate probe have no way to validate or specify the tool and this should not be acceptable.

Customers running programs via automation rely on autocalibrate commands.  These  also do not provide for ways to specify or confirm the tool ID w/o first manually editing every single probe and any parameter sets saved within that probe file.
 

 Per the Help file in 2020R1, 1D features are always points, 2D features are always lines and 3D features are always planes.  The software should be smart enough to know if the first feature you pick is a point, line or plane than the other feature type has to match.  Software should limit your choices to that feature type and not have the additional radio buttons in there to trip up the unwary CMM adventurer/ programmer

Hello there,

When using pattern in 2021.1 it will no longer rotate my tip angles. For my work our programs use pattern rotation all the time. Not having the tip angles rotate 90deg with the rest of the program is dangerous. This has happened before with the introduction of another version and was fixed in 2020, maybe was fixed in later versions of 2019. 

I created this topic in relation to a similar IDEA topic  "Rotary table calibration - Add multiple levels to sphere measurement".

The Probe Utilities in PC-DMIS for years have defaulted the number of Levels to 2.  This  goes back to the days Manual bridge CMMs were prevalent and people locked axis in Z to go around equator and took a single hit on top of sphere.
For a DCC machine w/ any touch trigger or scanning probe, a 2 level default is not metrologically speaking good practice.

Having all points in the equator; except for 1 at the North Pole of the sphere should no longer be a default for any PC-DMIS CMM, or NC, or Vision installation when using spheres.
That the default be 3 levels minimum is long overdue.

When a feature is named in a way that indicates that it is a datum, have the software automatically create a Datum Definition command.   Alternatively, have a checkbox in feature dialogs for Datum Definition.

I would like to be able to name my alignment when using Quick Align.  Similarly to how I can name features when utilizing the Measurement Strategy Widget.
