A user parameter window that the programmer can set a value and a keystroke for commonly used functions.  

for example,  if you are programming a part with holes of varying depths you could set a letter with the parameter for the value desired.  So for the .250  you would just type "Q" in the depth area of the auto feature, "W" for .500, "E" for 1.000 and so on.  This function is a staple in modeling software.

The ability to dimension the distance of irregular shaped grooves and contours when using scans.  For example, a rectangular O ring groove with scans on both surfaces. The ability to select two opposing scans and get the distance.  

After many calls and chats with Hexagon support, there is still no proper way of saving PDF and Excel files automatically (by checking the folder contents and increasing the index). PDFs prompt for save location now and then, excel files are often saved twice, sometimes with wrong index and sometimes half an hour after I ran the measurement routine the last time, suddenly 20 empty excel files are added to the folder. 

Instead of asking me to check or change things, why doesn't PC-DMIS come with a proper update to fix this. Apparently the way they coded this way of saving to PDF and Excel is not robust at all.

I'd like the ability to have the boundary type and direction in the scanning dialog box to be graphically represented in the graphics display window with the ability to turn it off and on with a click of the mouse (check button). Just a wireframe would be sufficient to clarify what's being used and it's direction.

I have not been able to make my report look like my print.

I would like to see lines from the circle centers not the outer edges and  clean lines that define where the measures are coming from so I can give the measured data to my engineers and they can see where I am taking my measures from. The picture below show a simple example of how the prints I've seen are drawn. I can not replicate this view in my reporting causing me to have to remake a new report so everyone that looks at it can clearly understand the measured information.

Have the ability to have multiple angles in clip planes.  

It's not uncommon for section views to not be a flat plane. Instead they have twists and turns in them.  It would be nice to be able to duplicate the section view on my print to my programming/ reporting view.

Maybe use features (including generic features) to set the spot where the section view turns?

Maybe some type of boolean operation to combine multiple clip planes in order to achieve this effect?

I'd like to be able to access the form editor as a stand alone application.

Add a Select All option to the Command Mode Display Options.

Dialog Save As or Open in win10 with 2018R1 doesn't work. PCDMIS doesn't see any network mapped drives or folder from Quick Access. Please fix that. because we cant work without that.

I'd like more time to type the name of a new probe file in Probe Utilities. After a few seconds (for indecisive/slow typists) you are bounced out of the Probe file field and into Probe description.

If you continue typing in the field after being bounced out of it, you will be asked if you want to save changes to the prior probe file (which is essentially nothing). This is confusing and frustrating to new users. Perhaps the time limit could be removed to allow the user more control. 

Having said that, I have to give credit to the developers for the improvements to Probe Utilities in 2018 R2. I like what I'm seeing in the technical preview.
