I'm in the process of 'learning' a new text editor and it struck me... what do other PcDmis users use? I use a few depending on the task...It's super helpful, makes life less of a pain especially when typing those really long variables.
I use these frequently:
Visual Studio (w/ emacs keyboard)
Notepad++ (has multi cursors!)
GNU Emacs
and of course regular old Notepad
Unfortunately you can't paste text into PC-DMIS, so an external text editor is only useful if you do programming in other languages (PC-DMIS Basic, VB, C# etc.).

There is some possibility for PC-DMIS to import CSV-definitions of features, but I believe that's an option.
Your best bet for automating programming might be CAD-files with embedded annotations, GD&T etc.(PMI), as PC-DMIS can generate an almost complete program from that (if the annotations are correct). The STEP import is available in all versions, and supports PMI,
