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.

Why don't we have toolbar icons for scans?

For efficient file storage and organization. Currently the only way to keep projects organized (i.e. by customer name, tube identification, tube family, etc) is to give them very long titles/filenames.

The report options are currently applied to (1) the built-in saved report, (2) the exported-to-PDF report, and (3) the direct print report. They are not applied to the export-to-CSV report, which contains the full data regardless of the report-options selected.

It would be nice to export measurement results to CAD automatically with a part program command. I know it can be done manually but you can't always count on remembering to do it. Maybe an addon to the Print command? Include options for auto indexing like the current PDF or Excell output. Alignment and cad format to be used would need to be part of the parameters for this.

Unless I overlooked that ability, I haven't found a way yet. We have 10 cmms that currently use STI and transferring one STI menu file to all cmms so the STI menu is the a same on all cmms is very efficient.

I would like the option to scan the surface following an irregular, or made up of geometric shapes curve (red) that is on that surface all the way around (sample on the picture)

PCDMIS should have some customisable deafult run program dialog. For general data inputing before measurment starts, like Operator, machine, sample number, reason for measurtment, etc.

Those dialog shoud be changeable with some Scripting editor or throu some ini file.

Shouldn't be that hard to do. Lets get it done for 2017 guys.

It would be great to add .PA, .PR in extensions for hits, arrays (...)in assignments.
