Have the option on install to migrate configs from the previous version. 

I would like, that PC-DMIS makes it impossible to use “invalid” characters (spaces or special characters) in feature names or at least warn the user when using them.

I have seen many problems come from it first hand and also countless forum threads about it.

I would like to have the ability to change the illumination calibration without having to re-calibrate the illumination when I inspect a different type of material.  At this time, if I calibrate the illumination to one type of material, then I can not use the same calibration on a different type of material as effectively.  I would like to be able to toggle between the illumination calibrations.  

Allow realtime Report Window within Inspect, I do not want to have to create slideshows for 2,000 programs.

As of yesterday, I'm now programming in an office at the opposite end of the factory to the CMM.

The operator isn't always at the CMM especially if it is a long program.

Could PC-DMIS be set to send an email out to specified users when:

1)  the program stops when the probe crashes

2)  the probe needs manually removing/inserting

3)  the program reaches the end

Now when I insert distance dimensions I have to write down the nominal value and tolerance for each dimension. I would like to see PC-DMIS fill the tolerance zones according to nominal dimension (if I choose it; checkbox)  and chosen standard (ISO 2768, DIN16742 TG1-TG8, ISO 16901, ...) (PC-DMIS remember chosen standard within program). Something similar is in Location dimensions but it is only for holes and shafts. I also miss a tool or manual to create my own tolerance maps for standards we used and common tolerances on drawings ( +/- 0.05mm; +/- 0.1mm;+/- 0.2mm;+/- 0.3mm). To sum what I want, more flexibility and automation filling the tolerances for distance and location dimensions.

It would be nice to add a 3d vector approach in auto circle, to measure circles on cone, sphere... without doing it by autovector points.

It would be a good time saver to not need to reprogram if there was a toggle parameter in the edit window for auto features for sensor type

My work would be much more efficient if I could resize the "Distance" dialog box, specifically the feature ID's list. Currently I can only see 5 feature ID's at a time. When I don't know the names of all the features, or I can't find it in the cad model display, being able to see a larger portion of the list here would be great because I know approximately where or with what other features it is. Most of the time I'm working on parts with hundreds of features.
