Min Max point number matching
If the point numbers in the min/max list matched the actual feature point number then I wouldn't have to rely on the low screen resolution on graphical analysis to find where the min/max locations are.

Point Auto Trigger Cylinder length control.
Currently, Point Auto Trigger only allows for a radius to be set. This creates a cylinder that has no ends and allows for points to be taken anywhere inside the diameter created...even if its 1000mm away from the target. Often times the point is taken on the wrong side of the part by the operator... Please add a control for the max distance from the surface similar to that used for laser scanner features.

Hover Over info
Help files attached to the icons. Hover over the icon and get a pop up (help?)that links you to the help files associated to the icon.

Graphic Simultaneous requirement
Create 3d Cad features from the features created in the program. Use the upper and lower tolerance to create boundaries then use the measured value to confirm the features are in tolerance visually. Apply datum shift to allow a virtual fit up. Features that don't "fit up" appear red and a list of features is also reported "like collation detection". Works with legacy or exactmeasure...

ABSOLUTE MOVE POINT
ABSOLUTE MOVE POINT SHOULD BE VIEWED AS A VISIBLE OBJECT LIKE A REGULAR POINT SO IT CAN BE EASILY FOR MODIFYING

Add (enhance) the ability to create multiple auto features in on go.
Add (enhance) the ability to create multiple auto features in on go.
I know you can create multiple auto features in one go by left click dragging a box around them, but it always picks up several 'hidden' features which aren't wanted, and yo get no say in the order of them.
What would be ideal would be ctrl+click (like selecting multiple discrete items from a list box) to select multiple features at once.

Add select tool inside auto feature dialog box when extracting features from pointcloud without CAD file
When extracting 3D features such as cylinders, cones and other features of size without CAD model, select tool would be great addition to PCDIMS. Also extracting and exporting 2D splines from pointcloud to different file types to make tool path definitions from the scan.

Bulk Program Editor
Tool or script that can open all programs in a directory and do a "Find and Replace" on program code. For example: if you had a command like EXTERNALCOMMAND/NO_DISPLAY, NO_WAIT ; C:\FOLDER\EXTERNALCOMMANDTHATIWANTTORUN.EXE and you wanted to change it to EXTERNALCOMMAND/NO_DISPLAY, NO_WAIT ; C:\FOLDER\DIFFERENTEXTERNALCOMMANDTHATIWANTTORUN.EXE, currently you have to open-edit-close on all of the programs. In situations where there are many programmers or there are many programs, this would be a useful tool for managing the edits required on an entire directory.

Add the ability to delete or transform multiple CAD assemblies and one time.
Under CAD assemblies, I would like to be able to select multiple assemblies, to either delete, or even transform. As it is I have to select one at a time. When using 30+ assemblies it can take sometime to transform or delete.

Min / Max point on colormap
Min / Max point on colormap is not representative to surface.
This point will "nearly" always be on the surface edge!
And this value is used when you evaluate Profile surface dimension.
If you take a look at pictures below and special on the colormap / colormap scale. 99 percent of this surface is green and orange. The Profile surface dimension value should be around 0.5 but it is 0.756 (ASME).
This because of what I believe error from the scanner.
Different ways to solve this could be:
Let the Min / Max be on a colormap "area" and not as a point.
Or an outlier filter...
