Generic circle Radius/ Diameter default
Change the generic circle default of reporting radius to report diameter
I want this to be the default
F37 =GENERIC/CIRCLE,DEPENDENT,CARTESIAN,IN,$
NOM/XYZ,<PNT301.TX,PNT301.TY,PNT301.TZ>,$
MEAS/XYZ,<PNT301.X,PNT301.Y,PNT301.Z>,$
NOM/IJK,<0,0,1>,$
MEAS/IJK,<0,0,1>,$
DIAMETER/11.4,D80.M.MEAS
instead of this...
F37 =GENERIC/CIRCLE,DEPENDENT,CARTESIAN,IN,$
NOM/XYZ,<PNT301.TX,PNT301.TY,PNT301.TZ>,$
MEAS/XYZ,<PNT301.X,PNT301.Y,PNT301.Z>,$
NOM/IJK,<0,0,1>,$
MEAS/IJK,<0,0,1>,$
RADIUS/11.4,D80.M.MEA
I'd even be happy if I could push a function button in the edit windo to flip it.
I cannot every remember creating a generic radius.

AB angles in probe readout window and status bar
For continues wrists we show the AB angles in the probe readout window and status bar. It will be helpful also for indexed rotary heads to see the angles. Some heads have the capability that the operator can rotate them with a joystick and they like to see the angle.

Copy and paste Hit/Basic from one Auto Feature to another
I would like to be able to Copy and paste hit basics from one auto feature to another auto feature. I was measuring a circle that has nine 20degree segments that needed measured. When I used Void detection and had the angle from 0-360, it didn't work. It would put some points on the surfaces but would skip most of the surfaces. So I tried to copy and paste hit basics from the segments into a feature and it would not work. I get an error "Highlighted object(s) may not be copied!" And if you try to paste from Notepad you get a "Line too long error."

Probe Utilities dialog window ability to change the size of the dialog window
Add the ability to change the size of the Probe Utilities dialog window.
This will allow the user to see the complete view of the Active Tip List descriptions without using the horizontal scroll bar.
Tip List Description
1. TIP ID#
2. Tip Rotation
3. Tip Type
4. X,Y,Z Location
5. I,J,K Direction
6. Diameter and Thickness
7. Date and Time
* (asterisk) - Noncalibrated Tip

Extract T-Value From Vision Auto Features' point data (Profile, Circle, Line), rather than remeasuring points.
Currently, it is not possible (to my knowledge) to extract point data from a feature that has been scanned via vision. The point must be re-measured as a point, rather than comparing to CAD for a T-Value

Add Ability to Enter Tolerance Class fit on a Hole Diameters When Reporting True Position Using XactMeasure
A lot of drawings now state a tolerance class on hole diameters, we can populate the +/- tolerance using the location dimension command but not when reporting a hole for True Position. It makes sense to populate the tolerance from the XactMeasure dialog.

multiple constructions using same input features
Our engineers always want 3 circle algorithms, Least Squares, Max Inscribed, Min Circumscribed. I'd like to be able to choose all 3 of these at one time, using the same set of input scans. Maybe change the selection option from a drop down list to radio buttons enabling multiple circle creations in on step.

Promt operator BEFORE changing tip angles within program
I program offline for different machines and all of the machines do not have the same probe head, so the tip rotation angles are not the same. When an operotor mistakenly opens a program on the machine that is equiped with the PROBEPH10M probe head instead of the HH-AS8-T2.5, PC-DMIS automatically switches the tip angles that are available while using the PH10M. This is a problem because even if they don't run the program, simply closing the program will save the new tip angles. File, Quit will not save it but sometimes it doesn't go down like that.

Deeper automated feature naming convention
When programming offline I would like the naming conventions to more customizable. Example...If I select to measure a diameter that is .750 then I would like PC-DMIS to automatically assign that circle to be named CIR_750_1 and the next time (whenever that may be) a circle is selected with that same nominal diameter it would come up as CIR_750_2. Since I try to program with the least amount of movements in between features (path optimization) I don't always measure all of the Ø.750's at once. Just an example...Usually I would measure the Ø.750, then the Ø.129, then the second Ø.750. So I would like PC-DMIS to automatically assign (with the help of ID Setup) the circles as CIR_750_1, CIR_129_1 and then CIR_750_2. Hope this makes sense...

cad model transparent
Hi guys
it would be nice to be able to make certain regions transparent. For example: fixture model transparent, workpiece visible
have a nice day
