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

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.

When constructing or dimensioning, the feature selection box should be adjustable in size to see more features or full feature identification for easier selection.

When using an auto plane, we would like to see the option for start points and end points for the plane, as manipulating the points manually around other features can sometimes be difficult.

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.
