one of the most frequent complaints is about changing nominals. There have been many different things listed to reduce that having to do with F5 settings and how Alignments are created etc, amounting to many things to seek and tie them down so they dont change. Perhaps pcdmis authors consider this a 'feature' but most users consider it the bain of their existence. It makes them HATE using pcdmis. Why not have 1 simple parameter the user can set that permanently locks the nominals of features and moves etc so that they can not change?

Tolerances should be able to be entered separately for each intersection and for each Straight.    The overall tolerance does not always meet the specification,

especially for pipes with holders and connections.

The design of pipes over CAD or measured cylinders should be possible by clicking on the  cylinders and entering the bending radius.             

Currently, this is only possible through the tedious calculation of the intersection points and the rebuilding of a pipe.

When we do the Alignement with Plane Line Point, 

the Point should be Zero in XYZ.

We would like to have a possibility to see corrections of measured LRA in report. That means opposite values of deviations. For example when your nominal value of a bend is 90 and you measured that the reality is 91.5, the deviation is 1.5. But we would like to see the value of -1.5. We dont use automatic corrections for benders because our benders are not capable of this. We need to write corrections manually  so we need values in this form.

Enhance the Keyed in dimension by adding an input box for use of a variable entry and the option not to pop up during execution.

This would allow us to assign a variable as the measured value with out asking what the measured value is and eliminate the need to construct a generic feature.

A way to calculate for allowing plating into your measurements I think would be a good idea. A way to enter plating variables and with the nominals from the imported CAD and selected Datums from the program an adjustment could be made to the tolerances, instead of manually adjusting your reported tolerances. A feature for PC-DMIS that takes each measured features vector and can move opposing vectors tolerance tighter and vectors in the same direction leave the same tolerance.

Suggestion from the Live Idea Center Session at HxGN Live

Add the ability to drag and drop any CAD file into the Graphics Display with "automagic" import.

When copying/pasting parts of the program I have to keep scrolling up/down, would be useful to split the editor in 2 and show 2 different parts of the program as the same time (similar functionally is in MS Word by dragging the handle at the top of the scroll bar).
