Hello PCDMIS gurus and devs.

I would appreciate if PCDMIS had admin panel where I could define all settings once and then point this admin panel to every computer where installation of PCDMIS exists this way If I wanted to change say for example speed of all machines or some other generic settings it would be done from one panel. For example layout of buttons, speed of 3D CMM, loading colors for highlighting code etc. 

Example A is a plane, B and C are two circles laying in plane A. I need to evaluate GD&T relative to A|B-C. B-C should be treated a as pattern. ref case #00757938

Note: B and C are measured on a thin glass lens with a Vision probe on an Optiv Reference machine: they are 2D and cannot be measured as cylinders.

This functionality is supported in other metrology software. This is very frustrating and embarrassing for my customers.

I would like the paste with pattern function to have the ability to follow the CAD nominals surface as it pastes. Currently paste with pattern only applies the pattern offsets to the copied point and does not necessarily follow CAD. This works fine for flat surfaces but does not work for any surface with shape. I understand that paste with pattern "Curve" follows CAD but only the edge curve. Paste with pattern that would follow the CAD surface would allow users to fill any surface with surface points by only programming one surface point. This would be a huge time saver and give the user the ability to put multiple points anywhere on the CAD surface quickly. With PC-DMIS portable the COP contains millions of points but it is time consuming if you wanted to add rows of surface points on surface with shape. This would be a good feature for Portable or CMM.

I have run into multiple examples of engineers wanting to do their own analysis on the measured CMM data. At times it is difficult to align the part and points in the modeling software. I can export the data and the part model in separate files but not in the same file. 

Beim alten externen Q-DAS Konverter konnten die Ergebnisse manuell exportiert werden mit dem Offline/ASCII Export Button.

Beim neuen integrierten Q-DAS Konverter können die Ergebnisse nicht mehr manuell exportiert werden.

Wäre von Vorteil wenn die Funktion auch im internen Q-DAS Konverter zur Verfügung stehen würde,

weil wenn n.i.O Merkmale nachgemessen werden, muss nicht die ganze Messroutine ausgeführt werden

Allow the Edit or Graphics CAD window to snap to Screen monitor (Like other programs in windows) so that CAD window can be viewed on one monitor and the edit window on the other without having to manually resize it it fit.

Add two functions to the recent file menu:

1. Add a folder icon next to each entry in the recent file menu.
   Clicking on this folder will open the "open routine dialog" in the folder containing the routine.
   This will let the user navigate more quickly to the desired folder, especially when the routines are stored in sub-folders (e.g. one folder for each product with all routines specific to this product)
   
2. Add a remove button next to each entry in the recent file menu.
   Clicking this button will remove this routine from the recent file menu.
   Ideally, the list would have an overhead so that when the user removes a routine, the next older routine gets displayed.
   

It would be excellent if there was a user toggled option to have all measured results saved to a sidecar file that is time stamped.

Currently results are stored in the measurement routine and if the program is re-run, it overwrites the previous results.

It would be good if these sidecar files could be loaded into the program so that reports could be regenerated in the case where you have changed your reporting output or added additional dimensions etc. 

This would eliminate the need to re-measure separate parts if you decide to change the reporting or miss reporting an item (assuming you dont need to physically measure more of the part).

It could also provide a method to archive results that are not exported reports in PDF, excel, txt formats etc.'
