Comment Box Update!
I think the Comment box could use some help. I've been using PCDMIS since the 2014 version and its basically untouched in 10 years. As an offline programmer, the comments are sometimes the only way I can communicate to the inspection operators.
I have seen some people on here asking for Font Types and Colors, and i think that's a really great idea!
I would also like to see more ALT codes translated correctly to the comment box, or maybe add more than the four symbols at the bottom of the Comment Text Box. GD&T uses so many different symbols to communicate there should be a library to choose from when typing out or operator comments.
Even as I type this out, I'm looking at the options i have to edit my text and I would love to see something similar to this woven into the comment section of PCDMIS. (see below)

Possibility to disable automatic highlighting of the feature on which the cursor is located
There should be an option to disable automatic highlighting of a feature on which the cursor is placed.
When programming, the large shadow of the highlight can interfere. Especially with single circles this is a disadvantage.
At the moment there is only the possibility to change the color of the highlight.
We should be able to see 2 programs in the scream to be able to compare both
Sometimes we need to compare the programs in what is different.
Compare PC-DMIS programs side by side
Ability to have two PC-DMIS programs open side by side/one on each monitor to compare and copy and paste between them.
Alternatively, a PC-DMIS clipboard you can use to copy and paste code to and from.
Graphic Analysis View
Add the ability to turn off previous graphic analysis views / show one graphic analysis view at a time. Adding graphic analysis views makes the snapshot for the report cluttered and hard to read. We should be able to disable / enable graphic analysis views on dimensions in the snapshot and/or recall a viewset to "reset" the graphic view.
Inspect Slideshow - Have the ability to assign more colors
It would be good to be able to have more then just Red for failed dimension in the slideshow for inspect. I would like to see a minimum of 3 Colors. Green-passed, Yellow Warning (maybe a settable percentage), and Red Failed.
PC-DMIS restarts after n- runs
When running a palette with Inspect, it often happens that PC-DMIS slows down over time and finaly crashes.
Can a way be added, that Inspect resp. PC-DMIS is restared after n-runs?
Possibility to re-call a simultaneously evaluation as an active alignment
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 missing on CMM's report when exported as a text file
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!?
