Hexagon Measurement SystemsNo matter what Hexagon measurement equipment or software you use, we want to hear your ideas and suggestions on how we can improve.
Thanks for your assistance in helping us shape the future. |

Prevent the Auto Calibration results in the Report
Opition to turn on or off the calibration results from being included in the Report
Probe autocalibrate question from the PC-DMIS user forum.
Add IP point distances
Add an option to have a table in the report showing 3D distances between Intersection points.
IP1 > IP2
IP2 > IP3
etc
Avoidance Moves Clearance Cube
We can change the movements for Clearance Cube to UseTipVector or Axis but a more useful tool can be UseFeatureVector ( the movements to clearance cube to use the feature vector and to activate from F5. Avoidance moves does the same thing but it will be useful in clearance cube motions).What do you think?
Change the coloring of the coordinate system to the conventionally used XYZ=RGB.
The currently-used coloring, XYZ=BGR, is very confusing for most 3D CAD software users.
Add scanner support
I suggest to add support for scanner. The simplest way would be that when typing a part number (without the PRG extension) and the enter key, then the part program starts (simple HID support). If the part program not exists, just a simpel text somewhere shows a error message so it is possible to scan (or enter the keyboard) again. No window to close before trying again.
It should be possible to scan direct after the INSPECT application has started.
Program and Revision Change Control
As the Manufacturing Industry heads towards automation and more CMM demand, companies like Boeing are asking for a formal Program Change Control Process such as Siemens Team Center. PC-DMIS should be able to accommodate this need.
When a CMM program is released, it should have an associated revision. When changed/updated for any reason, the prior revision program should be archived, documented change history recorded, and the new revision program released for use.
Bring back Ctrl + Left click to select feature on 2017 R2
In 2017 R2 the ability to press Ctrl + Left click to select a feature has been removed. now you have to go the longer way of right clicking and navigating to the 'move to' option.
bring it back !
can the min or max show the feature out of tolerance instead of it averaging to the measure feature to be acceptable
I'm measuring a cylinder on one of our parts and the max was out of tolerance. the report was not showing it out of tolerance because it takes the average of the min and max. the operator did not catch this and the part was shipped to the customer. is there a was to report the min and max as a out of tolerance feature on the report?
Saving measurement routines (programs) as compressed files.
At our facility we save the "program" for every part that is measured. We started doing this several years ago in order to be able to review the actual "program" that had been processed by inexperienced operators. This practice has continued to this day. We don't often review these saved programs, but this practice has saved more money over the long run than it has cost.
The major "cost" is drive space. This saving uses up lots of disk drive space.
It would be great if we had the option to "save as" a compressed file.
