UK customer has requested a way in Inspect to specify a % of tolerance, and if dimensions are within tolerance, but above the % of tolerance, they would be marked in yellow on the dimension summary screen at the end of execution.

Would like to be able to view the CAD model within the Inspect user interface while the program is executing. Similar to the current Operator mode functionality.

Now PC-DMIS remembers only measurements made on the last part. A lot of time I need a complete data of part that was measured in past. It could be set to remember last xx measured parts. I know that Calypso has this feature.

Add options to construct Datum features in such a way that they reflect the standard.

Example - Datum A is a Plane, and Datum B is a cylinder bore nominally perpendicular to the plane.

As per both ISO and ASME standards, Datum B would be a Max Insc Cylinder Perpendicular to Dat A.

It's easy enough to construct a Max Insc cylinder, but this wouldn't be forced perpendicular to the plane, currently you'd have to measure it as a series of circles, then construct a Max Insc Circle in the correct workplane after levelling to Dat A.

See bottom image for example (image shows shaft not bore but principle is the same).

Like wise construct a datum plane from a measured plane relative to another feature (Top image)

Your program is finished but some points or features were added and their out of numerical order.

A Re-number feature would put them all in ascending order.

Can we get some way to record what version/schema of PC-DMIS is required to open a particular PC-DMIS file?  With the rolling cutoff and some users having a mix of schema for their routines, I fear difficulties with using the migration utilities in the future. 

As more and more customers are asking us to scan (with a probe) all features, they also got their standards for using the filters in scanning. In those standards, they also ask for a specific UPR which relates to the current diameter. For example, Ø8 and smaller require a UPR setting of 15. Ø8-Ø25 require UPR 50 etc.

I'd like to add this as a smart parameter in the Measurement Strategy Editor to make sure we also use the correct settings.

This would save lots of time for some parts. Think of it like the shield from the Dune movies. The clearcube should form around the part

It would be helpful to see the actively constrained degrees of freedom as the feature control frame is being built in the geometric tolerance dialog window. As an example, assume I have a primary datum plane (normal Z+), a secondary datum cylinder (axis along Z), and a tertiary datum cylinder (axis along Z). Then, as I build my feature control frame, the geometric tolerance dialog window shows me which degrees of freedom become constrained as the images below show: 

I would like the ability to create an attribute dimension, similar to a "Keyed In" dimension that has a non-numerical value of either "PASS" OR "FAIL" and the ability to pass that result to reports or Excel exports.  Currently, all defined dimensions are numerical.
