Hexagon Measurement SystemsNo matter what Hexagon measurement equipment or software you use, we want to hear your ideas and suggestions on how we can improve.
Thanks for your assistance in helping us shape the future. |

Option to load CAD file based on user input
Add the ability for users to code in an import CAD file based on variables. IE:
What part are you running? -2
if c1.input == "-2"
import, igs, "c:\models\ 123-2.igs"
end_if
something to that effect, for when there are a family of parts with minor changes in the part and you want to write a single program to run all parts in the family, but want the correct CAD file to show, as to not confuse the operator when the incorrect part is showing on the screen.

Allow to default feature colors within "Edit Feature Appearance".
Having the ability to have custom colors default for feature colors makes changing the background color cater the color choices. Creating multiple features then having to back track and open the "Edit Feature Appearance" to change the color is not ideal.

Sort probe order based on B angle for faster calibration
Have the ability to sort all angles by angle A or B. A is currently the only way. If sorting by B, the Calibration routine will be much shorter.

Custom Excel Reports
Give PC-DMIS the ability to store measurement results that can be exported to a custom Excel template. I currently use InspectionXpert software for ballooning drawings and that software allows you to create a custom Excel template by choosing the information that you export in a secondary function of the software.

Make clearance cube “clearance offset”
make clearance cube, clearance offset by offsetting from cad a set amount to avoid contact

Add AS9102 form three report
Add the ability to output in AS9102 format

Pallet Run with Inspect
It would be great, if we have the possibility to do the “pallet Run” with Inspect – like Operator Interface.
Just enter the number of the parts and their offset and let’s go.
If a part does not exist, just uncheck it.

Recall Bend Data from Bend Controller to Tubeshaper
Add the ability to have the Bend Controller send "corrected data" to Tubeshaper and updating the CLRA fields only. Currently as it is, sending corrected data to Tubeshaper replaces the nominal "LRA", which we want to inspect to.

CAD things develop
It would be great if I click on CAD part model than is marked(highlighted) in CAD assembly tree too and reverse: If I click on one item in CAD assembly that will be show in CAD window by other color.
Additionaly the marked CAD item can be hide by "I" ( invisible) button, visible again by "V" and "E" exlusive visible only just this item... ( It work an another software and would be great if here will be works similar :-) )
If you like this suggestion press "vote". Thanks!

warn if routine is open in another location
similar to opening a word doc or protected pdf or cad file, where an instance of that file is already open at another pc or workstation, and a warning pops up that it can only be viewed not edited since it is open somewhere else. This would come in handy when, programmer needs to make edits, but in another facility the routine is open and running at a cmm. Rather than messaging folks or emailing and waiting for a response and someone to physically go verify it is not open anywhere, to just have a warning message pop up instead.
