Ability to use Multiple Print Commands with different formats.
Ability to use Multiple Print Commands with different formats.
Reason for request:
When using Print Commands to print one RTF report and another Print Command to print a PDF.
The end results is two PDF reports.

2020 R2 Profile - CAD graphic analysis improvement
In 2020 R2, the calculations/interpretations of profile tolerances have changed. The idea now, for a unilateral tolerance, is that the tolerance zone is offset from the nominal surface an appropriate amount and the zone is expanded/contracted until the surface is "snug".
I created a simple example. Offline, I created an external cylinder. I requested the profile of the surface with [.xxx U 0]. I turned on CAD graphic analysis and the tolerance zone is still centered on nominal. What's worse is that the deviation shows toward the wrong extreme of the zone.
Can this feature be improved so that the graphic analysis of the zone is shifted and the deviation can be shown properly?
As you can see, at [.xxx U 0], the outer edge would be at the extreme outer edge of the zone. PC-DMIS is showing it at the inner edge.

Highlight the associated features when the cursor is on a dimension command
Highlight the associated features when the cursor is on a dimension command so that people can easily find out which feature is out of spec.

Review the symmetry ISO 1101
The symmetry doesn't directly.Please review.

Animation of a part program should be more realistic
We should improve PC-DMIS form a graphical animation of a mesurement routine to a kinematic simulation. Then we can also check execution times and we can see also different speeds betwenn a move and a measurment inside of a feature.

Intervention limit for selected nominal dimension comparisons
Required: Define a separate action limit for each individual characteristic in the measuring program.
e.g: Characteristic 1 --> intervention limit 85%
Characteristic 2--> no intervention limit
Characteristic 3--> intervention limit 70%
Eingriffsgrenze für ausgewählte Nennmaßvergleiche
Es ist nur möglich eine Eingriffsgrenzen zu definieren (z.B. 80% oder 90%), die dann für alle Merkmale im Messprogramm wirksam ist.
Wunsch: Für jedes einzelne Merkmal im Messprogramm eine seperate Eingriffsgrenze definieren.
z.B.: Merkmal 1 --> Eingriffsgrenze 85%
Merkmal 2--> keine Eingriffsgrenze
Merkmal 3--> Eingriffsgrenze 70%

"Right click delete" to remove an unwanted Windows Layout icon
Deleting an unwanted Windows Layout icon should be more intuitive.
A user should be able to simply right click and choose "delete" in a context menu to remove, not Shift-Left Mouse Click and drag away. I'd also like to be able to rearrange the order the icons appear in the toolbar.

Intersection points between curve and plane
At the moment when you construct an intersection point between plane and curve only the first intersection point (PNT1) will be construct. (see Picture 1)
We are needed every intersection point between curve and plane (PNT2 and PNT3). (see Picture 2)

Default feature color
I'd like to suggest a feature - to add an option to set the default colors for different types of features - i.e. by default every time i create a constructed feature its color on the cad model to be yellow and every time i create an auto feature its color to be red etc.
I am asking for this feature because atm whenever i start a new program or open an existing one by default all features are black and even if i set it manually the way i want it every feature i add to the program after i have set my colors is shown in black no matter where in the program i add the feature.
Also id like to suggest a global option for adjusting the features' colors for all programs because i would really like to avoid setting the colors for 1300+ programs manually one by one.
IMPO this would be extremely convenient if such an option is added to PC DMIS.
