this is to find features in the measurement routine that do not have any use (junk features), perhaps carried over from previous iterations or just not fully utilized (as constructions or alignments or output dimensionally). there is already a query for missing alignment recalls and dimensional outputs that have no feature ID's, so this would be an extension of that. Features created in the measurement routine should have a use as a construction of another feature, as an alignment, or as a dimensional output, or....

Currently there is the option, with variables, to pull all the elements from a feature at once using the .ALL extension.

What would be very useful is for a generic feature to be fully populated by the elements from the parent feature.

Hello my name is Daniel Ślosarczyk on pc dmis has been working for 6 years. I miss reporting cad models and cut models in the report. In addition, the report could be more intuitive to make quick screans (see reporting polyworks)

I often program complex 3 axis parts offline with only a drawing.  I have to usually "sketch" the part using constructed features, to give me the geometry to find intersects / tangents etc. I would like to have a mode similar to curve mode, that allows you to pick the feature lines in the graphics window, similar to picking CAD, to create auto features.

When programming multiple features in order like:

CBORE_1

CBORE_DEPTH_1

HOLE_1

It would be nice if you could copy/paste with pattern this entire pattern and save the names of all not just have everything come up as HOLE_1, HOLE_2, HOLE_3...

Time consuming to rename all of the counter bores and depths.

It would be nice if you could tag programs in Windows explorer and be able to add comments about the program without having to open the program and view it. This would be display in windows explorer under the details section.

It would be nice if we can handle STL by surface mesh. Pointcloud is not usable...

Some youtube demo about pointcloud operation is also much better to help to our work.

Practical trick and tip etc...

Improve quick fixture interface to where it is more like the translate mode, 2d rotate mode, 3d rotate mode in the graphics modes toolbar.  Current interface is quirky at best to downright difficult.  

 I would envision going into quick fixture mode, click on a component, clicking on translate to move a component such as a tension clamp, then switching to 2d rotate to turn the clamp on to the cad model. 

Have the Excel output work with any number of pieces into the same sheet.

I have pc-dmis cad 2012 ( silver edition advantage global) software and pc dnis cad 2013 (brown & sharpe 7-10-7) software. I'm trying to access the file from the 2013 on the 2012 software but I'm having some issues with this. Any suggestion how to access to file? thank you :)
