Auto Features for Continuous Features (CF)
Allow a simple solution for creating auto features that per the current ASME standard are selected as continuous features (CF). I would recommend adding a CF button within the feature edit window to allow you to select the required features as well as a hotkey. To make it easier for the user the software should recognize what features are continuous.
This will help simplify the path optimization for Auto Features. Example: If you are measuring a continuous plane that has many interruptions you can now globally adjust the parameters and you don't have to construct a scan of all the individual features.
This would also be a good move since the popular metrology software Zone3 already has the ability to select multiple CAD surfaces as a CF.

Hi, Pc-Dmis allows to program Auto Plane features on multiple surfaces.
Depending on the probe in use, the Auto Feature dialog will show the ability to select the surfaces of interest and create a single Auto Plane feature using the same parameters for all of them.
I'm attaching here below a couple of screenshots showing the cases for an X1 and an HP-L-10.10 Laser probes.
Hope this helps.
