Hexagon Measurement SystemsNo matter what Hexagon measurement equipment or software you use, we want to hear your ideas and suggestions on how we can improve.
Thanks for your assistance in helping us shape the future. |

Adding comment to assign command
You should be able to add a comment to the end of an assign line of code.
For example, currently the code is
ASSIGN/V1=10
it would be good if you could add a comment at the end to help with editing the program by adding $$ at the end, example
ASSIGN/V1=10 $$ diameter of hole 1
ASSIGN/V2=20 $$ diameter of hole 2

Visual indicator for scan control points
When trying to add control points it is very difficult to understand what the control point is actually doing or when it will trigger. If there could be some sort of visual aid that shows the control point along the scan path that would be very helpful.

Excel Form Report, PCD ID |x||y||z| output
In excel form report, can we implement where the xyz values will run in a row for a dimension, and than in the next row below it another dimension and it's xyz values, and so on and so forth.
Example:
Row1: |X|,|Y|,|Z|,|PCD ID|
Row2: |X|,|Y|,|Z|,|PCD ID|
Row3: |X|,|Y|,|Z|,|PCD ID|
etc.

Streamline Dimensioning
I feel like a lot of features have been upgrade or streamlined to make them as easy or possible to use, but dimensioning has been left behind. For example if I have a lot of dimensions coming from Datum A I have to click on Datum A every time I want to Dimension from that. I know I could make that my zero then report the locations but some of our customers are very particular about cmm reports.
We should have an option to Keep datum A selected and only have to select what we want the dimension to go to. This would save some time and some clicking.
Thats the only idea I have for now but im sure other people have other ideas for this.

Locking a feature label to
I would like to be able to select feature labels to stay in the view in the camera while dimensioning. For example if the part is really big but all the dimensions come from Datum A it would be nice to have the datum A feature label always in the camera view to easily select it. Right now can drag the label around but this would be much easier. The same way we can lock and unlock targets on the vision systems

Distance-to-go while executing a program
When executing a program, not much information is available to you, and knowing how far a probe is about to travel is a great indicator of whether or not you're in the right ballpark.
Simply a value showing how far the probe is going to move before it reaches the point in which it will switch to touch speed or begin moving in another direction.
We see more and more machinist being trained to run PC-DMIS, and this is a comfortable feature they're used to seeing when running their CNC machines. I think it could help prevent many CMM crashes.

Auto Close Program
The ability to add a line of code that would automatically file>close or file quit a program.
Similar to routine end.

Construct a line from a circle
We want the ability to construct a line from a circle by drawing a line perpendicular to the plane through the centrum line
