Warning user of requirements for simultaneous evaluation if the GDT dimension has the same material modifers as a previous dimension
Not many users are aware of the simultaneous evaluation option and tend to dimension separately and thus getting the benefit of the material bonus individually rather than collectively. Could it be a possible if a feature has been dimensioned using the same DRF callout we warn the user that these should be treated as a group i.e. simultaneous evaluation.
Allow Additional Pre-Hit / Retract Distance When calibrating an analogue probe with DCC+DCC
When calibrating an analogue probe, due to the required number of hits (25) it can take a long time. To alleviate this reducing the pre-hit / Retract to say 0.5mm will improve the throughput. This however only works if the tip position is known. If using DCC+DCC calibration could we not have an additional field so the tip position is found with a user-defined larger pre-hit / Retract and then reverts to the smaller user-defined pre-hit / retract post finding tip.
Create a public API for external automation
Create an API platform that is friendly to programmers (non-pcdmis code) to access and manipulate information and processes in PC°DMIS. (Example: https://www.pcdmisforum.com/forum/pc-dmis-enterprise-metrology-software/pc-dmis-code-samples/22927-pcdmis-automation-with-visual-csharp-2010-express)
This would allow companies, labs, and hexagon the ability to integrate with more softwares.
Stop Universal Updater offering pre-release builds
Universal Updater offers me Pre-Release versions of PC-DMIS 2019 R1. I do not want them! Make an option in Universal Updater to enable or disable pre-release notifications for updates. I only want to install final releases
Enhance vision probe support - lighting
Vision Probing is great (for the most part). However it would be nice to see a smoother transition when programming between two dissimilar machines or even CMM-V. Problems with settings translating between different style light configurations can pose some strange difficulites. Mostly settings getting lost or hidden.
Example: Right now I have a single tier ring light, my customer has a triple tiered ring light. I write programs where in sections I turned the ring light off - when the program is transported to their system - it is on. I am told this is because their setup is different.
If this were a probing Cmm I would simply select a different module/tip etc and move on - right in the probe toolbox.
☑ Override favorites to top of list - Sorting for Alignments /Dimensions
The ability to favorite a feature and sort those to the top of a list in alignments or when dimensioning.
(Perhaps a check box to ☑ Override favorites to top of list)
Many times I'm referencing a common datum feature and have to continuously hunt for it in the list.
Open Template / Program Template Search Path
Very Simple Idea. \
Add a set search path option for 'Template Programs'.
Add to the drop down menu under 'Open' ; 'Open Template'.
This then drives to your set search path for template programs.
Markers for flow control commands
I'd like to have the ability to press a button and have PC-DMIS place a book mark on every flow control operator I have in a program. When I'm editing it would be much easier to find them by jumping from book mark to book mark rather than having to look at every line of code. Often it's easy to miss one!
Maybe have an automated book mark option with different types of commands:
button for label
Button for flow controls
button for types of features with sub menu for different types of features
Call up a saved MSE group in Auto feature dialog
Add the ability to recall a Measurement Strategy Editor group directly in a Auto Feature Dialog box. Should result in less opening and closing of dialog boxes.
