As per title, a neat feature would be to allow watermarks on the report (based on coding) for when a report is needed just for reference for example or if some reports are trial measurements etc.

We need to have a log of any errors that Occur on the machine. I'm sure we have all had the problem of something happening on the CMM'S and no one knows anything about it. If we had a unalterable record this would help us diagnose the issue and get things going  a lot more quickly.

On the Zeiss machines its a pop up window that's always there keeping track of what's going on. I would like the option to have something similar.

Be able to have more than one routine open beside each other. I know you can open different windows, but you can't have them beside each other. I would like to be able to have two different routines open beside each other with the same software version. So, if I want to copy some features from one routine, I can easily implement them into the other one without changing my entire screen. 

Hello,

After tip calibration, user has to go "Results" to see calibration result. If not, user has no idea about it or user can forget to check result. To prevent this, we can use a check box such as "show calibration result after calibration is done" in Setup or somewhere else. With this box checked, user can be able to see Results immediately. This prevents that if results are bad, it cannot be overlooked. 

Best Regards. 

Hello,

As you know, Lower Matrix Calibration is essential to use analog probes correctly. However, I see that so many customer does not realize the importance of it and they neglect doing it. This causes problems in measurements. We have so many mails coming to hotline about inconsistancy between probes, tips, etc and most them are related to lack of Lower Matrix. 

In my opinion, we need to have option to remind Lower Matrix such as in Probe Utilies, Setup like reminder for Probe calibration hours and days. 

Best Regards. 

I am wanting to use the Pre-Execution file to display a Ballooned print of the part being run. Locally on 1 PC this works as intended. The issue is if I add the PDF to inspect on 1 PC it won't show up on any other PC with inspect. Basically I'm trying to edit 1 and done.

Our Current process is we have 6 CMMs that all pull programs from a server. This works great with JPEG icons that you see before you press execute. Editing 1 inspect to have this JPEG basically saves the JPEG file next to the PCDMIS program on the server, So every inspect on multiple PCs automatically grab this. I'm not seeing where the PDF is being stored. I'm assuming its just locally.

The SetPrintOptions function in the PCDLRN.dll ObjectLibrary allows you to control the print settings for pdf reports but there is no option for excel(csv) files.  I would like to be able to control the Excel output settings.  I know that print commands are possible and I can control print settings from there but that doesn't solve my problem.

I would like to see about having a line of code added to the auto calibrate lines of code that determines which qualification sphere i am using for the calibration. My facility uses 2 spheres at varying angles to calibrate but most of them get done  with a qualification vector of 0,0,1. We have 2 spheres hat we use in case one is sent out for calibration etc. So my idea is to add a line of code into autocalibration that allows for you to select the current probe being used for all probes and angles in the routine based off a trace field that was preselected at the begging of the program. So if i start autocalibration it doesn't just stop because qual tool1 was loaded for the first probe but its still looking for qual 2 for the second third fourth or even fifth probe.
