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

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

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.

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.

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.

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...

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

In a lot of instances an operator or Inspector wants a simple classification if a part is either good or Bad. Currently we can add the code to test for any out of tolerance features and display a report label programatically but this can be complex to a user. In most cases they wish to know of the part is any good or not, by having a PASS/FAIL label the inspector / operator does not have to review the report in all its detail. For Example

Would like to see a graceful default way to handle Find Hole failures.  

For example the operator puts the probe in the approximate middle of the feature and lets PC DMIS try again and/or quick minimal manual feature measurement to temporarily reset the theoriticals. Probably would have to have a surface touch as part of the solution in case the surface isn't quite where it's expected.

Add another parameter to appropriate Auto Features that sets the size of the Find Hole search area.  I know it can be done other ways but having your commonly used tools right at hand makes for a good work flow.
