When calculating angles current method does not inform user which angle is being calculated.  Need ability to differentiate which angle is being calculated 3d or2D from axis view similar to current distance options.

Make it possible to create an angle point using CAD when there is a radius between the two surfaces.

This comes up on nearly every molded part I measure and on most sheet metal parts.

User Interface could be to click on the first surface like it is currently done. If there is a radius (or empty space) between the two surfaces, press Alt and click on the second surface, then click on Create. Have the first click define where the angle point is to be taken at. If there is no radius then just click on Create and process as currently done.

an overhaul/update of the basic script editor portion of the software would boost the

automation capabilities.

a more comprehensive help file with examples and add "intellisense" the the script editors

tool kit would allow more users to learn scripting and therefore develop programming methods

and custom scripts to automate.

When reporting XYZ data (nominal, measured, deviation), users wish to have an extra line/column giving the total XYZ difference for each intersection-point, calculated from the square root of the sum of the squares of the individual X, Y, and Z tolerance values (i.e., XYZ Total Difference = sqrt[(X^2)+(Y^2)+(Z^2)]).

Request originated from North America.

Idea3:

Linear open scan window and all scanning window is also work with fixed size.

The boundary points area is too small.  Usually we have 3 rows, but this small window only shows 2 rows.
I suggest if you only increase your line by 1 line, you would no longer have to scroll...

Initial Vectors area is same...

I would suggest that if you make those windows adjustable then the boundary points area and Initial Vectors area should be change with the window growth size.

The approach vector when auto scanning cones is incorrect. The approach should be at a tangent to the cone angle this results in the incorrect contact point when the probe touches the cone, the error is equal to the sine of the angle of the cone multiplied by the probe radius

Hi,

It would be great if the Construct (point,line etc) windows work just like the auto feature windows.

Idea1

In case of auto Feature you can hide or show the measurement properties .

Personaly I like to see everything in auto feature but the ">>" button is good idea.

It would be great if the "<<" button appear in "construct ..." window too and the users can be hide the red area:

Idea2

If you work too many elements maybe helpfully if you see not just 7elements. 

In auto feature window you can modify the size of window if you can drag the left bottom corner.

It would be great if it works in the Construct ... windows and increases the size of the window to more elements than 7.

When use quick features and with the Flexible Measurement Strategy (FMS) Wizard opened, add the ability that , the user can drag the hits pathline mannually to a position to define where PC-DMIS takes the hits.

At this moment there is a possibility that you forget you checked the 'Don't as me again' checkbox, and leave a collegae (or yourself) with the possibility to make unwanted recalculations without noticing.

When you make that it only applies for this session (until the program closes) you can make the chance of this error/mistake a bit smaller.
