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. |

Start program dialog
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.

Have the recent file menu show the last 10 programs executed instead of just the last 4.
Shouldn't be that hard to do. Lets get it done for 2017 guys.

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

Allow theoretical numbers to be locked on individual features
Allow theoretical numbers to be locked on individual features making it possible to prevent them from changing. This would give us a more elegant solution than turning a theoretical number into an expression by dividing by 1.

Create an actual model from a point cloud
I would like actually create surfaces based on a point cloud

Offer a multi-execute capability so you can get it to execute a specified Measurement Routine 'n' times
....like the MultiExecute Wizard can do.

enhance search function for groups (part 2)
Could the Find function in Command Mode be edited as is proposed in the original topic from Aaron Baldauf?https://hexagonmi.userecho.com/communities/40/topics/1335-enhance-search-function-for-groups
With that I mean is to add a checkbox for if you want to search inside groups or not.
The reason:
We have very large programs with lots of groups.
When I for instance do a search for "D20H7_" (in version 2025.1) it takes alot of time. If it is within a group it will expand the group. When I click next it will expand the next group. Et cetera.
Groups that are expanded via this Find keep expanded. So I need to do extra work to search manually for expanded groups that were collapsed.
I already talked to Hexagon and they proposed the search function in Summary Mode, but that is very different and not suffcient to my needs.
Plus, I, like so many others, program in Command Mode because I don't want to hoover over a line to get all info like in Summary Mode.
So please make it as proposed by Aaron Baldauf, with a checkbox "Find in groups".
Unchecked = Search as in version 2022.2
Checked = Search as in version 2025.1, and when it expands a collapsed group that when it leaves that group it will collaps it again.
Thanks.

Carry Like Tolerances Forward
There was a time of programming when I was asked to "Carry Like Tolerances Forward" and I clicked on "Don't ask me again" and since then, I haven't been. There have been multiple occasions since where that feature would be useful but I don't know how to get it back for new programs...

Change the toolbar/user configuration files to something readable
Like title.
I would really like to have the toolbar/user configuration files (toolbar.dat, gbarstate.dat, et al.) to something user readable.
Like XML or JSON. When we "move" the old configuration files between versions/upgrades sometimes they end up with duplicate menu items, sometimes missing a menu item...
Today, there isn't a possibility for the user to add/edit the .dat files. This is possible with XML/JSON so the user can "see" if there is a menu item missing/duplicate. The only thing left to do is to delete the files and start over with setting up the GUI in PC-DMIS, which I find quite cumbersome.

Slot Point Distribution
It would be good to be able to measure hits along the flats of a round-ended slot, instead of being restricted to the radii on the ends of the slot.
