A possibility to Add "Tolerances" to colors (RGB) like in Hexagon VISI or maybe in a simpler way
We work more and more with colors and PMI`s to reduce drawings to a minimum.
At the moment we are at the point, that we can handle RGB colors in our CAD, in the CAM and in the Viewer.
But in our quality department is it not possbile to work with colors in a fast way, because PC-DMIS shows only RGB codes of the Surfaces (Information Surface)
We would wish a to have a possibility to see a tolerance for every RGB color like in Hexagon VISI.
In our business field all companys work already with the similar color code. (Meusburger, VISI, Hasco, VDWF, ....)
Than you don`t need so much time to add PMI`s, because the colors are so much faster and you understand in few seconds the parts and what you have to measure.
Example how you can at the moment see the color in PC-DMIS, but no Tolerance:

This is how you can see it in Hexagon Visi:


Dark Mode Enhancment
Dark Mode already exists in the software but really deserves to be expanded on. Currently just the home page and the GD&T menus are affected with dark mode. Dark mode should change the whole UI.

Hi
In recent years, there have been more and more customers manufacturing plates for hydrogen fuel cells or heat exchanger with have many small CAD surfaces (thousands of surfaces). If you want to mark a certain area, you need to zoom in and mark from different angles to cover everything. This takes an enormous amount of time!!!
So I would like to have more options when selecting CAD surfaces. Like, select all, select all in my selection (through/not through/visible only and so on.

Add mark used and global used as parameter set options for Auto Calibrate
Add Mark used and Global used as parameter set options for Auto Calibrate.
Doing this could eliminate the possibility of forgetting to update the Parameter set when the tips used in a measurement routine is updated.
Path Lines Shortcut Key
Function of ALT+P, or another shortcut key, to turn path lines on for highlighted code instead of all instead of having to right click to select
Transform the CAD
Add more tools to easy manipulate the CAD; Sometimes I get the Model with crazy angles, and it is too complicate to transform it
Have PC-DMIS save mid program automatically
When running larger programs in PC-DMIS on my computer, if I have any kind of error the software usually freezes then closes on me. Would it be possible to have the software save periodically in the background while its running. Right now I stop the program 3-5 times to save it so if it crashes I dont have to start from the beginning.
Search bar for settings
Add a search bar for settings at the top of the software.
I can't tell you how long I have had to search for Excel Form Report, analysis, screen capture to file, etc.
