I would like to have the ability to change the illumination calibration without having to re-calibrate the illumination when I inspect a different type of material.  At this time, if I calibrate the illumination to one type of material, then I can not use the same calibration on a different type of material as effectively.  I would like to be able to toggle between the illumination calibrations.  

Now when I insert distance dimensions I have to write down the nominal value and tolerance for each dimension. I would like to see PC-DMIS fill the tolerance zones according to nominal dimension (if I choose it; checkbox)  and chosen standard (ISO 2768, DIN16742 TG1-TG8, ISO 16901, ...) (PC-DMIS remember chosen standard within program). Something similar is in Location dimensions but it is only for holes and shafts. I also miss a tool or manual to create my own tolerance maps for standards we used and common tolerances on drawings ( +/- 0.05mm; +/- 0.1mm;+/- 0.2mm;+/- 0.3mm). To sum what I want, more flexibility and automation filling the tolerances for distance and location dimensions.

It would be nice to add a 3d vector approach in auto circle, to measure circles on cone, sphere... without doing it by autovector points.

It would be a good time saver to not need to reprogram if there was a toggle parameter in the edit window for auto features for sensor type

My work would be much more efficient if I could resize the "Distance" dialog box, specifically the feature ID's list. Currently I can only see 5 feature ID's at a time. When I don't know the names of all the features, or I can't find it in the cad model display, being able to see a larger portion of the list here would be great because I know approximately where or with what other features it is. Most of the time I'm working on parts with hundreds of features.

As a PC-DMIS user, it would be an advantage to have a save function in PC-DMIS. Sometimes users are using VB to save the measurement routine. It would be nice if there is a function in PC-DMIS to have a commando in your measurement routine which functions as a Save Routine. 

ability to evaluate if a plane is either concave or convex. 

We need a possibility that an user can only open the measuring routine (.PRG) for execution. User in that case means also an operator with full PC-DMIS access and administrator privileges.

Here is the story:

• Customer  has 2 Leica trackers from us with PCDMIS.
• Customer constructs big machines for producing car tires. At several moments they measure the setup from their machine with the tracker. Works all fine.
• Next step: if they sell a VMI machine to a customer they think about also selling a Leica Tracker with PC-DMIS as a kind of measuring tool for their customers.
• They create the .PRG, and want that the routine can only be run in Operator Mode. Reason: they do not want that their customers can edit the original .PRG
• Note: the protected mode in PC-DMIS is not an option.

Another example is the ISO acceptance routines. We have to make sure that they can't be changed.
