I would like to have the possibility to activate a Datum feature alignment where a Datum has a Maximum Material Condition e.g. A/B(M)/C(M) which is used for a simultaneously evaluation. It would make it a lot easier to show some single points deviation or similar to an active alignment instead of adding each point of interest to a Dimension which then needs also put in for simult. check.. greetings Rob

GD&T dimensions are missing on the final output when exporting CMM’s report as a text file. This used to be there and it was fine before the upgrade to PC-DMIS 2020 version but now the dimensions are not there anymore.

I was informed by Hexagons Customer Support that this was a design decision made by the Dimensional Reporting product owner.
So this is as designed!!!

I would strongly suggest and I hope that this gets approved to be brought back to the way it was.

This causes an inconvenience and a huge problem which will result in changing and trying to figure out another way to link up CMM results with SolidWorks Inspection software if any other way even exists.

If this proposal gets approved and changed, customers should get notified/emailed of the change ASAP so we can start using it again as it’s intended.

Text output for the CMM results without dimensions on it will not do anybody any good. What’s the point of even having that option in PC-DMIS then, if certain dimensions will not be on it!?

Ability to use Multiple Print Commands with different formats.

Reason for request:

When using Print Commands to print one RTF report and another Print Command to print a PDF.
The end results is two PDF reports.

Example:

In 2020 R2, the calculations/interpretations of profile tolerances have changed. The idea now, for a unilateral tolerance, is that the tolerance zone is offset from the nominal surface an appropriate amount and the zone is expanded/contracted until the surface is "snug". 

I created a simple example. Offline, I created an external cylinder. I requested the profile of the surface with [.xxx U 0]. I turned on CAD graphic analysis and the tolerance zone is still centered on nominal. What's worse is that the deviation shows toward the wrong extreme of the zone.

Can this feature be improved so that the graphic analysis of the zone is shifted and the deviation can be shown properly?

As you can see, at [.xxx U 0], the outer edge would be at the extreme outer edge of the zone. PC-DMIS is showing it at the inner edge.

Highlight the associated features when the cursor is on a dimension command so that people can easily find out which feature is out of spec.

The symmetry doesn't directly.Please review.

We should improve PC-DMIS form a graphical animation of a mesurement routine to a kinematic simulation. Then we can also check execution times and we can see also different speeds betwenn a move and a measurment inside of a feature.

Deleting an unwanted Windows Layout icon should be more intuitive.

A user should be able to simply right click and choose "delete" in a context menu to remove, not Shift-Left Mouse Click and drag away. I'd also like to be able to rearrange the order the icons appear in the toolbar.

Two main attributes:

The ability to toggle tolerances off.  (Basic and Reference dimensions)  

The ability to have a second set of dimensional reporting options or several reporting profiles (Dimension Color Settings)

This helps with quality control.  Right now, we either 'open' tolerance or don't report.  There are instances where it is desirable to have values of basics and references with-out it hindering production mentality/reactions.  Often I also output XYZ coordinates for In-Car and zero tolerance them, as the T-value is what's important/desired.
