Connect / disconnect button for the measurement arms and other portable devices.

It would be nice to have this option for faster programming.

Allowing PCdmis to automatically include movepoints/clearplanes if it attempts to have a probe travel through a part. Sometimes on complex parts the alt-p probe path is too complicated to follow. Similar to CAD software that have similar collision simulations in assemblies. sort of like constraining a probe to complex probe limits

I often use the same values in copy / paste with pattern.

It would be usefull to save different patterns, like parameter sets, and recall / execute them.

It would be nice to have the ability to export a probe build into an IGES or STEP format so that I could load it into the CAD system. We have a need to create a drawing of the probe for documentation purposes and there is not an easy way to do this currently. Not everyone who wants this information has PC-DMIS where they can look at the probe build.

It would be interseting to create filters in spheres, cones and cylinders like it exists in planes and circles.

Update 2012 version instead the 2004 now used

I would like to be able to output dimension min/max values to stats instead of the average. I don't know how it would work but it seems as though it would create two outputs for a single dimension and then maybe it would tag a min and max to the dimension labels.

I would like a edit command/dialogue to move feature(s) XYZ values. Please create a dialogue with the option to select features from list or graphics window, input values to shift X, Y, Z, and rotation about an axis or feature. I want something that will allow me to move any feature nominal a given distance or rotate it a given angle. Take for example the paste with pattern function but it would function as an editing tool instead.
