Ability to manage all reports
If i have to measure 10 same parts, it will be great if there is ability to edit reports from 1 to 10, even if i executed program for each. For now, it's only "View last execute report mode"

Add a length and width spacer option for auto planes
Currently PC-DMIS has a square spacer that can be set for auto planes. It would be nice if we could specify the length and width of the spacer

I like to get the actual selected and executed Miniroutine(s) by automation
I like to get the actual selected and executed Miniroutine(s) by automation. A function like GetActiveMiniRoutine() on Part level can be a solution.

Vision - Possibility to use live view like a projector by using 2D dxf Contour shown in Live Image
When measuring with the optics, it should be possible to superimpose an overlay on the live image.
Similar to a wireframe model or a DXF contour, the lines of the nominal geometries should lie over the camera image.
This allows the operator to visually compare the actual and nominal contours, just like with a projector. Furthermore, the customer wishes to carry out manual measurements in the live view between the nominal and actual contour. Such as distances, angles etc.

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

autocalibrate probes within a single routine based on last calibrated date
I'm looking to have an auto calibrate command for all probes/tips within a single routine that have been calibrated outside a specified range. With this, it would also be nice to have a way to see all used probes and tips within the routine without having to go into each probe individually and select mark used. Currently we calibrate probes by opening each probe (F9), selecting mark used and looking at the calibration dates/times. If it has been outside of 24 hours we typically calibrate only the necessary tips. I'd like a way to do this automatically, and to be able to use this command from a form.
Thanks

Comment Box Update!
I think the Comment box could use some help. I've been using PCDMIS since the 2014 version and its basically untouched in 10 years. As an offline programmer, the comments are sometimes the only way I can communicate to the inspection operators.
I have seen some people on here asking for Font Types and Colors, and i think that's a really great idea!
I would also like to see more ALT codes translated correctly to the comment box, or maybe add more than the four symbols at the bottom of the Comment Text Box. GD&T uses so many different symbols to communicate there should be a library to choose from when typing out or operator comments.
Even as I type this out, I'm looking at the options i have to edit my text and I would love to see something similar to this woven into the comment section of PCDMIS. (see below)

Shape options for clearance
Clearance cube works well for square/rectangle parts but not ideal for cylindrical shaped parts. A clearance cylinder would work well for round parts that have features i.e. circles etc... on the outer perimeter of the cylinder.

Auto Element Kreis Scan auch mit Stützpunkte/ Auto element circle scan also with support points
Mein Idee beinhaltet dass beim Auto Element Kreis Scan auch Stützpunkten möglich sind.
Aktuell ist dies nicht möglich.
My idea is to program the scan with the auto element circle also with interpolation points.
Currently this is not possible.
