Tip Recommendation -> Button for Get Tip
There are two commands for tip recommendation (2D & 3D). Wouldn't it be nice to have a button for getting this tip directly?
Feature Request: Additional Ways to Rename Program Operations
As a user, I want to rename program operations using common methods (e.g. F2, slow double-click, context menu item) so that I can program faster and so that those new to the software can pick it up more quickly. I wouldn't say this is a high-priority
Feature Request: Add "Along Edge" Measurement Generation for Vision AF
As a user, I want to generate vision AF measurement locations on CAD surfaces with complex inner and outer boundaries so that I can speed up programming time when using vision AF tools. Currently, it can be cumbersome to program vision AF (surface) measurement

Feature Request: Allow Spaces in Program Operation Names
As a user, I want to use spaces in program operation names so that my program is more human-readable, and consequentially, I can find operations in my program more easily. I wouldn't consider this a high priority request, and I'm guessing there are good
Feature Request: Name and Rename All Program Operation Types
As a user, I want to be able to name and rename all program operations so that I can find and identify operations in my program more quickly. I wouldn't say this is a high-priority request, but it would be nice if it is an easy change to implement.
Feature Request: In-Program Vision Measurement Visual Verification
As a video measuring system user (e.g. Nikon VMA-2520), I want to verify that the points measured with vision measurement tools were measured correctly while the program runs. Currently, the measured points that appear in the camera image during a run
Keep Focus on 3D-Windows while running the Program (online)
Hi, sometimes I would like to manipulate the 3D-View when running a program online.. It works but Zooming does not work.. Problem is the 3D window is losing focus in favor of the point window.. Maybe you could change this behaviour so point windows stays

Save Custom View (but regarding shown/hidden elements)
Hey guys, I know you can save views but they consider only the perspective. Would be great to also have show and now show elements saved, maybe as a separate command.. Thanks for considering..
Probe assembly notes
I'm not sure if there is a way to do this already, but I was thinking it would be nice to have a note field associated with the probe assemblies, so that we could make note of the component part numbers for re-ordering purposes.
Graphical Reporting
When creating a graphical report, it will show you the leader lines from feature to feature pointing to the dialog box. What are the thoughts on having that look more like a traditional print and have the ability to dimension that out in the graphical
Name Variables
I would love to see feature names that can be changed with a variable. Application would be for macros, dialog boxes inquiring a new feature name, etc.. This would allow better program flow and control. If I add a macro for center hole location and measure

Simulation Speed
I find myself frequently jumping back and forth to the Preferences>Simulate & Verify Tab to adjust the Simulate Speed settings, since sometimes it's too slow and at other times too fast and I can't quite visualize the Programmed Path. Simulate Speed During
Keep Layout when switching Language
Hi, seems Layout is tied to the Language.. Would it make sense to decouple Layout and Language? Thanks for considering!
Put user name into report header info
I want to put our CMM# info on the user name box. So that way we have an additional traceability on which CMM we inspected our random parts. We currently have 3 CMMs (CMM1, CMM2, CMM3) I checked at the global report settings at preferences and theres
POSITION BASICS AUTO POPULATE
When entering true position basics in the main windows, what if it were to auto update the basics located in the feature report tab after you enter your actual basics after you hit apply? Thoughts????

Hexagon Probe Change Rack
Hi all, I recently acquired a probe change rack which is working perfectly with CMM-Manager as a Renishaw MCR-6. I found this rack for $400.00 on a popular internet auction site new in the box. Notice it holds TP20 modules just fine. I am not looking
enter current DRO into modify path command
maybe its overkill and i suppose this is where i find out..... however i find myself entering my DRO xyz values into the next command to link paths together better. it would be cool if there was a button in the dialog that allowed to you "enter current
Option to add note to a selected amount of features?
I wasn't sure if this was in the software somewhere and I'm just missing it but it would be nice to have an option to add a note to a selected amount of features. For instance, I have a part that I'm measuring 500 holes and I need to add the GD&T in the
CLOUD TO CAD DEVIATION DIALOG BOX EXPANSION
occasionally features or surface names will be to large to read the full description in the box it would be nice to either side scroll to see the end or allow for the box to be expanded to a larger size. this also doubles as a warning not to change your
Option to Configure Safe Position between Racks
Hey Guys, in the Rack Config there is a switch for Safe Pos. between Ports.. So far so good but could you add another switch for controlling Safe Pos. between Racks? In our case we have 3 FCR25 in one Row and it is not necessary to go to Safe Pos. when
Possibility to Add Ribbons

Back Button
I may be the only one who could benifit from this because a lot of operations can just be deleted, but I think a "step back" button could be really helpful for ref. frame/alignment mistakes or mis-click. Just an idea for ease of use, a lot of other softwares
Labeling Suggestion
I have spoken to QX about this and had some additional thoughts on the Operation Plan labeling When reporting features it displays I.E. Circle1 to Circle2. As you are looking through the program unless you put in some comments or user notes it can be
Programing-using PH20 as PH10
I think it would be very helpful to have the ability to specify which tip angles auto path planning uses especially when using PH20 as a PH10 with a crank stylus. Auto path planning picks "bad" angles about 25% of the time with this specific setup and
Clearance Plane and clamps
Clearance Plane – add the option to retract to the clearance plane at each touch point to avoid having to manually edit the path to avoid clamps and fixturing (defining O.D. measurement using DCC - see photo).
Mirror around Machine Axis
It might be occasionally helpful(as I'm Typing this) to be able to mirror a part around the centerline of the Machine on a selected axis. I have a part the axis of which are not square to the Machine, and mirroring around a part axis causes the mirrored
