Make it possible to re-enumerate feature numbers after program is written/edited.
Your program is finished but some points or features were added and their out of numerical order.
A Re-number feature would put them all in ascending order.
Program Single Block Mode
It would be nice to see an addition of a 'single block' mode, similarly to CNC machines where you can step through each line/block of code one at a time. This would be good for proving out program or certain sections of programs. This would be better than having to CTRL+E each line to make sure things dont crash.
Adding a single block toggle to the execution popup window while executing would have the user click the play button/green button on the jogbox to advance each block.
Have the clearance cube wrap around the form of the part instead of a cube that has deadspace in it
This would save lots of time for some parts. Think of it like the shield from the Dune movies. The clearcube should form around the part
Show constrained degrees of freedom in the geometric tolerance dialog window
It would be helpful to see the actively constrained degrees of freedom as the feature control frame is being built in the geometric tolerance dialog window. As an example, assume I have a primary datum plane (normal Z+), a secondary datum cylinder (axis along Z), and a tertiary datum cylinder (axis along Z). Then, as I build my feature control frame, the geometric tolerance dialog window shows me which degrees of freedom become constrained as the images below show:




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.
Ability to Assign a Dimension as Attribute
I would like the ability to create an attribute dimension, similar to a "Keyed In" dimension that has a non-numerical value of either "PASS" OR "FAIL" and the ability to pass that result to reports or Excel exports. Currently, all defined dimensions are numerical.
Complete autocalibration routine
Autocalibration Currently does not remeasure failed tips. My suggestion is to implement a feature within the Autocalibration routine that allows it to remeasure the tips that failed the standard deviation. As well as adding a feature within the autocalibration code that allows you to select the calibration sphere when the qualtool has been moved only. This would be used for all autocalibration within that code as well but only selected at the beginning of the program to ensure correct vector and size are used. My expectation if this gets implemented is when i leave on Friday, i can start the autocalibration routine and come back on Monday with no tips that have been outside of the standard deviations.
Gerber Format Support
The Gerber format is a standard ASCII format file structure and uses X, Y, Z and I, J, K information that enables data exchange between CAD (development) and CAM (production). It is primarily used in electronic CAD programs (EDA – Electronic Design Automation) to output layout data for printed circuit boards.
We are frequently confronted with this format and here we have a competitive disadvantage compared to providers who can read this format into their measurement software without further external conversion.
It would therefore be desirable to integrate a corresponding import interface into PC-DMIS.
Possibility to scale the size and change the color of type of Annotation Points
As a PC-DMIS User I would like to have the possibility to enlarge the size of Annotation Points created out of Surface colormaps or Pointcloud colormaps. Sometimes it is very hard to read the value inside of Annotation Points, because they are just too small. Sometimes it is hard to read because you do not have a nice contrast between the Type and the background color. In this case it would be nice if I could change the color of the type.

While in Graphic Window the Annotations are good to read, it may be more difficult in Reports, etc.

Add animation speed slider to lower of window for offline play back
