Add Python for scripting
Add python scripting with full Automation including reading CAD information tree.

TempComp with ASSIGN
Is it possible to replace the measured value of the workpiece with a variable in the TempComp command?


Batch edit of programs
We have a lot of programs, and nearly all programs have some standard text within the programs. And when we have to change some of the text we have to edit all of our programs one by one. Therefor batch edit of programs I think could be a really nice idea for PC DMIS with Search and replace into a program folder.
Or maybe have the option to open PRG files in a external editor like Notepad++.
We will soon implement subroutine to our programs to make it a littler more simple to our program edits.

Saving measurement routines (programs) as compressed files.
At our facility we save the "program" for every part that is measured. We started doing this several years ago in order to be able to review the actual "program" that had been processed by inexperienced operators. This practice has continued to this day. We don't often review these saved programs, but this practice has saved more money over the long run than it has cost.
The major "cost" is drive space. This saving uses up lots of disk drive space.
It would be great if we had the option to "save as" a compressed file.

user group and run programs
Pcdmsi should have login inside aplication. For login diferents privilegies to create, chenge run programs. Need tohave user friendly and configurable desktop for runing programs, like separate desk. One desk for programing another for run programs . Like some of older Part program runs with picture and programs descriptions.

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.

☑ 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.

Make the Mini Routine Dialog readable from outside PC-DMIS
It would be nice if the Mini Routine Dialog readable for any Automation, for example Inspect.
If I wrote a Routine within Mini Routines, I expect, tat Inspect opens the Mini Routine Dialog to select the Mini Routine which I will execute, before the Routine will be opened and executed.
