Backwards compatability with Xact
Want backwards compatibility with Xact measure for GD&T. I have hundreds of programs that would need to be reviewed. I'm in a regulated industry and can just imagine the chaos that would happen with changing to the new scheme. I appreciate the effort and improvements in the update to the new scheme. However, the costs and headaches involved in ensuring that older programs will provide the same results are going to hold us back. I have gotten around updating previous release updates by arguing that the changes are relatively minor and are mainly programming aids. This is a major change.
Other alternative would be a way to not allow Xact measurement routines to not run at all.
Late to the party and realize it's probably not possible but still....
Add the option to report out postion of both start and end pts of a cylinder instead of only the worst end. Legacy had this option but the GD&T reporting does not.
By showing both it gives a good indication of how angled the cylinder may be.
Excel Form Report - allow to change number of exported decimal places independent of report
Allow to change the number of exported decimal places independent of the report (see attached picture).
Or.. if this is too much to change -> force the excel export to always export at 6/7 (mm/inch) decimals.
This would allow to have an easy to read PDF/Print but still retain all the Data in the Excel Export.
At the moment if the PDF/Print is set to 3 decimals the export is also just 3 decimals.
This leads to PDF/Prints that are out of tolerance (shown red) but exports that are shown as in tolerance (wrongly)

Reporting the width of an o-ring groove ( or the difference between an I.D. and an O.D. )
Vectors of deviation in CAD protocol
Hello,
we need to have the option to show the vectors of the deviation in our protocol.
It is possible in the graphical window in PC-DMIS, so why isnt it possible in the "CADONLY" protocol e.g.?
Here is a screenshot what I mean:

Thanks in advance
2021.1__Add unequal tolerance zones for analysis view command
Using 2021.1, an "analysisview" command of a feature control frame that uses the "U Modifier" will ONLY allow us to put on the inspection report an "analysisview" of a BILATERAL tolerance band.
Please add the capability for us to show the tolerance band as UNEQUAL.
summary view, color scheme, similar to edit window colors
add a color scheme to the summary view, similar to the edit window color scheme that can be saved and recalled.
Can PC-DMIS make a feature that we can measure in a step-file like the way it can in a CAD-program? It can be usefull that you can measure geometry in the step-file before you start a routine
Datum feature in edit feature window
Add a feature in the screen for editing a feature (plane, cylinder, etc) to assign it as a datum instead of going through dimension datum screen and/or gd&t dimension.
Enable "To Points" toggle in all auto-features
Regarding the "To Points" toggle in the auto-feature dialogue box..
Would it be possible to make this toggle work for every type of auto-feature?
Right now, you can only use "To Points" on autocircle, autoplane, and autocylinder. The toggle is "grayed out" for lines, cones, spheres, etc. Adding this functionality would be a good enhancement IMO.
Thanks for your time,
