It would be great to add .PA, .PR in extensions for hits, arrays (...)in assignments.

Allow theoretical numbers to be locked on individual features making it possible to prevent them from changing. This would give us a more elegant solution than turning a theoretical number into an expression by dividing by 1.

I would like actually create surfaces based on a point cloud

....like the MultiExecute Wizard can do.

I suggest adding a “remaining travel” and “next action” display for the 3D CMM, similar to what we have on CNC lathes and milling machines. This would give a clear overview of where the machine will move next, helping to avoid collisions and making it easier to follow what happens during program runs or teaching.

Thanks for considering this! Edit: I accedentally suggested this on Hardware so I wanted to resuggest it here too.

PC-DMIS doesn't allow datum modifiers for perpendicularity on features of size. we see this a lot and would like to see this capability added on.

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 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.

In select function menu I like to have a "multi select funktion".

So I don't need to reset the cloud every time I need several section.

Customers who manufacture plates for hydrogen fuel cells or heat exchangers usually want their tool halves to be aligned according to the following principle.

1. The tool is aligned with a probe.

2. Then it is scanned with a laser (HP-L-10.10)

3. A Refine alignment is performed with the point cloud.

4. A primary plane is extracted from the point cloud.

5. Aligns as Z primary and Z zero.

6. Evaluates

However, this procedure is not correct as the plane is not exactly parallel to the pattern!

Of course, you can extract points and use these for XY and Z rotation, or construct "alignment features", but I want to use all the points in the pattern area in a easy way.

What I want is more possibilities in the point cloud alignment so that I can control/adjust my alignment better.
