Have the option on install to migrate configs from the previous version. 

I would like, that PC-DMIS makes it impossible to use “invalid” characters (spaces or special characters) in feature names or at least warn the user when using them.

I have seen many problems come from it first hand and also countless forum threads about it.

I would like to have the ability to change the illumination calibration without having to re-calibrate the illumination when I inspect a different type of material.  At this time, if I calibrate the illumination to one type of material, then I can not use the same calibration on a different type of material as effectively.  I would like to be able to toggle between the illumination calibrations.  

It would be nice to add a 3d vector approach in auto circle, to measure circles on cone, sphere... without doing it by autovector points.

It would be a good time saver to not need to reprogram if there was a toggle parameter in the edit window for auto features for sensor type

As a PC-DMIS user, it would be an advantage to have a save function in PC-DMIS. Sometimes users are using VB to save the measurement routine. It would be nice if there is a function in PC-DMIS to have a commando in your measurement routine which functions as a Save Routine. 

ability to evaluate if a plane is either concave or convex. 

We need a possibility that an user can only open the measuring routine (.PRG) for execution. User in that case means also an operator with full PC-DMIS access and administrator privileges.

Here is the story:

• Customer  has 2 Leica trackers from us with PCDMIS.
• Customer constructs big machines for producing car tires. At several moments they measure the setup from their machine with the tracker. Works all fine.
• Next step: if they sell a VMI machine to a customer they think about also selling a Leica Tracker with PC-DMIS as a kind of measuring tool for their customers.
• They create the .PRG, and want that the routine can only be run in Operator Mode. Reason: they do not want that their customers can edit the original .PRG
• Note: the protected mode in PC-DMIS is not an option.

Another example is the ISO acceptance routines. We have to make sure that they can't be changed.

When using an auto plane, we would like to see the option for start points and end points for the plane, as manipulating the points manually around other features can sometimes be difficult.
