PC-DMIS 2022.1 Technical Preview

Well, here is 2022.1 and still we wait for the ability to change from online to offline (Posted five years ago). Just like print commands when choosing two formats, Then the request to change the routine from inches to metric (Posted five years ago) and so many more requested changes.
Yes, there have been some great improvements over the years. Why is it taking so long to make these other requests.

Change from Online / Offline

Have the ability to change the program from English to Metric, not just the reporting

Ability to use Multiple Print Commands with different formats. There is a Case Number 00244229 for this as well.

Adding the Measure Now button within the Auto Features.
Measure Now toggle icon (Posted five years ago) that needs better visual aids to help let the user know that the CMM will execute immediately. Add a way to turn on or off globally. This one can destroy a CMM in a hurry. Forget that this button is on, select the OK button, and watch the dollars disappear.

When creating an Auto Plane contact feature, the XYZIJK for the feature are grabbed from where the user clicked.  If the Pattern is radial, what makes more sense is for the XYZIJK to default to central location.  Most often than note, when the user wants to use a radial pattern he/she is working on a surface around a circular feature or with a circular perimeter.  Having to manually edit the XYZ of the feature so that the pattern will be centered is not user friendly.
and if the center is on an inclined surface (not orthogonal to X,Y or Z) and the center has a hole, good luck.
Seems to me that if radial pattern is the current default for Strategies, QuickMeasure clicking on CAD for an autoplane should do that evaluation on the fly also.

Create a floating (ideally customizable) widget for warnings related to edit window changes.

Have a widget so you can toggle the common warnings (Carry Nominals back to feature / Update Measured Also / Save Theo as New Target / Update Nominals of Related Dimension / Carry Tolerances Forward / Update Commands Below)

Behavior could be that if the widget is visible it won't ask the question and will just use the currently selected option.

Make customizable so user can specify which warnings are on the widget.

I would like to have the option to assign any of my mouse buttons as a shortcut for example "end element"

It would be nice to pick type of plating or surface treatment with thickness and tolerance. Also the ability to select which surfaces get plating on the cad model or the entire part. It can be a real pain to figure all this before hand.  

Dear Hexagon Team,

I would like to suggest transforming the XYZ axis in the created program.

For example, If we create the CMM  program with reference to one machine, which is configured as (20.33.15 that is XYZ), suppose I want to run the same program in the other machine which is configured as (33.20.15 that is YXZ).

I am facing this problem frequently as my customer is giving the program, but I couldn't able to run the same program on our machine.

If you provide this option, it would be very useful to run the same program in the different axis configured machine and also we don't need to recreate the new program.

If this option is already available in the software, please let me know.

Refer to the below attached image for you reference.

Regards

Why is there no stability and repetition of measuring angles greater than 150 degrees? When measuring them, the length of the tube being measured and the straight sections at the bending point are constantly changing. Is there a detailed instruction for achieving stable operation when measuring configurations with angles of more than 150 degrees? Is it possible to make a threshold for measuring the angle from 120 degrees? Contact for communication +79051832483 whatsapp, viber.

This eliminates the time-consuming typing of coordinates and tolerances from drawings.

More customization of sound events.
