Currently when creating a composite or multi-tier dimension the second and following tier datums are displayed in alphabetical order.  By definition, with composite tolerances, the datums have to repeat what is in the first tier in the same order.    On the second and following  tiers, the programmer should be able to just click on the datum + symbol and the corresponding datum from the first tier should appear.      If for some reason the programmer needs to deviate from this, they should use the custom check box.

I'm at Datum AR on my current project.  Way to much scrolling back and forth.

While I'm at it,  the + symbol to display the composite option check box should be more visible.  Dark Green with a thin black symbol is hard to see on my 43 inch 4k monitor.  (Another example of my general difficult to find things in toolbars rant.)

You could be in the Z workplane but want to create a pattern relative to the X or Y workplanes

Add jump hole to the adaptive cylinder and circle scanning in auto feature.

In addition to being able to separately adjust the distance of avoidance moves, it would be nice to control the vector of an avoidance move.

If I can create a slot or a circle relative to a plane than why can't I create a width in the same manner.  Why should I have to create additional alignments.   Example: I have a project that has 60 slots most of which are used as datum features.  Creating 120 widths and 60 additional alignments in a program is not practical.  Secondly, Why can't I use the points that make up the auto slot measurement and have pcdmis create widths using those points automatically ?  Something else to consider is that all of these slots are drafted with no parallel sides.  

Inserting a feature into the beginning or middle of an argument list, PC-DMIS doesn't parse the string as it's pasted and thinks the existing name is getting lengthened, even if a comma is present. When creating a FEAT/SET, I needed to include individual hits. I started with the dialog box and selected PNT3. It needed to be the 3rd point in the list, but it was the easiest to select. The feature set was:

CONSTR/SET,BASIC,PNT3,,

Then I was told I needed to change it so it explicitly brought in the single hit 

CONSTR/SET,PNT3.HIT[1],,

Then I needed to add the first 2 points from LIN_L in front of it in the list

CONSTR/SET,BASIC,LIN_L.HIT[1],LIN_L.HIT[2],PNT3.HIT[1],,

But this didn't squeeze 2 additional points in front PNT3. Instead, it changed the name of the single argument to 'LIN_L.HIT[1],LIN_L.HIT[2],PNT3.HIT[1]'. This behaves the same whether I paste the new names as strings, the them manually or use a combination of both.

It appears that PC-DMIS doesn't recognize the commas as delimiters when it's re-parsing the line after an edit. And it doesn't change the quantity of arguments unless the additions are at the end. 

currently Excel form report clears out any formatted cell where the data will generate. Can we have it so it doesn't clear out the cells formatting or so the information will generate in a table inserted into the excel sheet. 

Add manual probe simulation capability for off-line measurements preparing/testing/training.

From PC-DMIS Forum post 

"Hello,
We have a pair of calibration programs that need to be run at the beginning of the day prior to running production. How could I automatically "lock up" the machine until the operator runs these programs? If there is a method of doing this in VBA, that would be ideal.
Thanks,
M"
