I would like to see about having a line of code added to the auto calibrate lines of code that determines which qualification sphere i am using for the calibration. My facility uses 2 spheres at varying angles to calibrate but most of them get done  with a qualification vector of 0,0,1. We have 2 spheres hat we use in case one is sent out for calibration etc. So my idea is to add a line of code into autocalibration that allows for you to select the current probe being used for all probes and angles in the routine based off a trace field that was preselected at the begging of the program. So if i start autocalibration it doesn't just stop because qual tool1 was loaded for the first probe but its still looking for qual 2 for the second third fourth or even fifth probe.

The "Text and CAD" Report template should label every feature in a set, not just the first. Example: pattern of 5 holes all positioned .010 ABC; the report image only points to the first feature, the other four are not labeled. 

When CAD data is imported into PC-DMIS, the probe configuration is initially aligned to the CAD coordinate system. When the relationship between the part setup on the CMM table is not the same as the CAD coordinate system, the F5 function under the PART/MACHINE tab lets you change the relationship. This is simple when the relationship between the two coordinate systems is orthogonal in each axis. However, when there is an angular difference in each axis, it is somewhat more difficult. The angular relationship (Euler angles) must be determined for each axis rotation and input by clicking “adjust” in the PART/MACHINE tab.

When the fixture design and CMM programming is outsourced to third parties, this angular relationship cannot always be determined. A solution embedded into the software would be a

One suggestion is to allow multiple coordinate systems to be imported in PC-DMIS and allow alignments to be constructed from an imported coordinate system. That way, the fixture coordinate system can be used as the main coordinate system to align the probe and the results can be reported to the alignment constructed from the imported coordinate system.

Can we have a toggle added to measured features within the edit window like SHOW HITS=YES/NO? Some programs containing measured features with a large number of hits are tedious to scroll through.

Give us the ability to have individual clearance settings for each tip during calibration. This would be extremely helpful for us with small CMM'S with probe racks. I have to do any that's rotated from A0 to A45 ( Z clearance is 6) separately from anything over A45 (z clearance is 12). Otherwise, I hit the prob rack.

Wir würden eine Funktion für die Auswertung von Durchmessern und Rundheiten über polare Sektoren benötigen.

Derzeit nur sehr umständlich über Numhits-Funktion oder Einzelscans möglich.

Es wäre eine Funktion in den abhängigen Elementen von Vorteil, an welcher ich für die Kreis Auswertung einen Scan

verwenden kann und in diesem definiere welche Bereiche ich von der Messung ausblenden will.

Beispiel siehe Screenshot.

I would like an alternative to be able to show with lines where my measured circles are on the cad, when evaluating several holes.
Also the possibility to divide the "flag" on several pages as you can have more measuring points than can fit on the paper size.

PC-DMIS 2022.1 Technical Preview

Well, here is 2022.1 and still we wait for the ability to change from online to offline (Posted five years ago). Just like print commands when choosing two formats, Then the request to change the routine from inches to metric (Posted five years ago) and so many more requested changes.
Yes, there have been some great improvements over the years. Why is it taking so long to make these other requests.

Have the ability to change the program from English to Metric, not just the reporting

Ability to use Multiple Print Commands with different formats. There is a Case Number 00244229 for this as well.

Adding the Measure Now button within the Auto Features.
Measure Now toggle icon (Posted five years ago) that needs better visual aids to help let the user know that the CMM will execute immediately. Add a way to turn on or off globally. This one can destroy a CMM in a hurry. Forget that this button is on, select the OK button, and watch the dollars disappear.
