Save settings as the default settings for different CMMs.

Possibility of calling the default settings at the beginning of the measurement program (One measurement program for different machines)

I'd like to see separate dialog boxes for scanning: one for TTP scanning and one for Analog. The way it is right now, we see all the settings for both in the same dialog: some applicable, some not. This tends to get a bit confusing.

For example, when setting up to do a Freeform scan with an analog head, I can still change density and number of hits in the Execution tab (then press calculate), but this has no affect on the scan since these settings are controlled in the Settings tab. Or, I could set the direction technique to "variable" when it should be set to "nullfiltier" for an analog scan.

Another option could be to gray out non-applicable settings.

I've noticed that the latest training material (2018) on scanning also lumps these two scan types together. It would be nice to have these totally separated in the curriculum since they are two very different animals.

When changing the name of a auto feature PC-DMIS automaticaly pops up asking if you would like make this new name the nominal name for the next featuer. I would like to submit the idea of replicating this when reporting position. If we have 100 diameters of the same ballooned feature it would be great to have the name become nominal so we only have to click on the feature then click create instead of having to retype or feature name every time. Thank you

I want to create a program that I can calibrate multiple probes add in angles and re-prove my probes.

If probes were cleaned or moved for some reason I just want to start a program touch off on my Qualification Tool then watch it go.  

Would it be possible to implement a plausibility check for PC-DMIS?
Controllable, I imagine it that way: You can define the plausibility limit in a program-related setting, e.g. deviation >10% of the tolerance is not plausible.
Ideally, this message can be sent automatically to the internal measuring program Support.

Background:
If the measuring program is started by a user, for example via the operator starter and a faulty measurement takes place, an error message should appear at the end of the measuring program or directly during evaluation that the plausibility limit has been reached.

Add the ability to View a Calibration Sphere Tool and Probe during calibrations in the Graphics Window. This would also be a great option to test large probe builds for offline programming for Auto Calibration Programs.

Like the topic.

In previous versions, the fast and easy way to rotate model to nearest axis was to doubleclick the mousewheel button. This no longer works in 2018 R2.

The only way is to either click the graphical views (cube) or the rotation widget.

Hi, I'd like to be able to turn off or on features visible through model. 

Make a temporary clip plane automatically when selecting View Perpendicular Toggle in auto feature

I would like to click and drag a box (like how the blob tool works) over an area of a part. But for whatever features are found in the box I made, I want it to trace the features like a profile tool to give it a point cloud. Then you can export features as a DXF.

If you are online programming, lets just say this part has 6 thru holes. There is no pattern to the thru holes. I would just like to drag a box over the 6 thru holes where it will trace like a profile so I can export that as a DXF.  This tool also will allow you to click and drag over any odd shaped parts.

The profile tool only traces 1 feature at a time, I want to be able to trace as many features in the camera view at 1 time.
