I have pc-dmis cad 2012 ( silver edition advantage global) software and pc dnis cad 2013 (brown & sharpe 7-10-7) software. I'm trying to access the file from the 2013 on the 2012 software but I'm having some issues with this. Any suggestion how to access to file? thank you :)

When reverse-engineering a tube and the program stops the real-time drawing in the 3D window because of invalid geometry, allow deletion of last measured straight for instant re-measure (instead if starting the measurement from the beginning).

Automatically save the measurements in the programs buffer without having to press the "Save" button.

Frequently desired for assemblies. The program could include the ability to add a photo of the actual tube (either standalone or in assembled position) as part of the report structure (Report Options) or allow pasting an image into the report's "Add comment" box.

Suggestion from HxGN Live  Idea Center Session

"With a Hexagon wide user account system, an award/achievement system could be added tracking usage of Hexagon software, and/or for attending HxGN Live,  or completing training courses.

Unlock achievements by trying learning new capabilities in the software, or through long usage of the same capabilities (1miilionth feature created).

Your ranking position among your peers can be shown on a worldwide leader board, and the top placed users win prizes (t-shirts, iPads, HxGN Live tickets (travel included))."

When using executing program parts by CTRL + E, PCDMIS automatically swings to the last programmed probe position from the program.

Unfortunately alsothis position is skipped by an IF / GO command.

 Here would be a safety requestion befor the swivel useful.

Hey guys,

I was thinking this morning how nice it would be to be able to specify with your jog box or even form the machine directly set move distances while programming directly online.

Example: I program a lot of thinks that are almost 2 dimensional so it is hard to fixture so we simply just change parts run a quick manual alignment however sometimes it can be tedious to go take and find those manual points but still get it close.

So if you are programming without CAD and not offline and you want the machine to move what you know to be 10mm you can have an options to move in Z+ Z- X+ X- ect. that exact amount instead of feathering the stick to where you want it given the option to change desired distant in seconds. Usually we know where we want to go in each direction we just don't know how far but we know roughly and we know which direction we want. This can make manually take points slightly more uniform as well short of going back through your code and just adjusting your coordinates.

I am not sure if this is possible with current jog boxes or windows in pc-dmis but our machine has an older style j box with no screen or anything. So a window for quick input directions in pc-dmis and or on the jog box would be awesome.
