Adding a + sign to constructed features to see the points that create circles, cylinders and cones...etc..

I'd like to see an option to pull the points out of a circle without having to click on the cad to do so.  When i am inside my constructed feature, i wish i could just click the circle and maybe a plus sign next to it so i can get a drop down of what auto points were used to create the circle.

We are adding the "select all hits" button to all BF / BFRE constructions in PC-DMIS 2023,2.  This will automatically select all of the individual hits from a selected feature and use them for the construction instead of using the centroid.  An example of where this will be beneficial is if you had used two semi-circles to measure the same hole (to avoid an obstruction maybe) and then wanted to combine those two semi-circles into one.  If you try to construct a BF / BFRE circle from the two inputs you will get an error because PC-DMIS requires a minimum of 3 points but only sees the 2 centroids.  Clicking the "Select All Hits" button would combine all of the hits from the two input features.

I like this very much but have three comments:

  • I am not sure we want that dialog list box to populate w/ a complete list of hits for features as they could be scanned features with 100ths or 1000ths of hits (points). I suggest we highlight the feature.
  • What if I want all hits from a circle and additional hits from vector points.  This is a mix and valid case.
    The original proposal from David makes more sense because it allows selecting ALLHITS for a selected feature.
    The Goal is to avoid having to go into command mode to add a CIR10.HIT[1..CIR10.NUMHITS] by hand.
  • Positioning of Select All Hits button isn't best.  And a mute point based on my first bullet point.  We should be able to pick all hits for a selected feature.  Not globally to all selected features in the dialog.  Should be by selected feature.

@Guillermo

The "select all hits" only exposes the hits of features that you have already selected in the feature list.  It supports the use case mentioned in your second point.

I see that you're a Hexagon employee - message me directly through Teams and I can give you a demo via a screenshare.
