Will update with more information as I go along in 2017 R1
- 2017 R1 messes with my multimonitor setup. I can't get the PC-DMIS window to fill the entire screen. It saves the last window state, but not all the way to the screen edge, despite me moving it, extending it so it fills the screen... If I minimize PC-DMIS and maximize it again, the window layout is messed up, forcing me to reload my saved window layout.
- The icons for graphic objects (labels, GD&T, etc) are all activated when creating new programs. I am sure that 2016 "saved" a default state for me, where I only had the labels active. Is this not possible in 2017?
- I am not seeing the nn% speed increase either which the "Whats new"-screen promised. XactMeasure is slow in (2016) programs, despite saving them in 2017 and opening them again. AFAIC 2016 is much faster in this area. The redraw of the report is also faster in 2016.

I noticed that when doing a TP in XactMeasure the "Group" coordinates are always enabled (again!) when printing. This was corrected in an earlier version of PC-DMIS which enhanced the "quality of life" meaning it was NOT checked for printing. Now I have to uncheck this in each and every TP I create and as the XactMeasure is slooower in 2017 it worsens the user experience further... Update: When creating an FCF, the group coordinates are NOT checked. If I F9 the FCF then the group coordinates will automagically get checked.
- Surefire way to crash PC-DMIS: Create a program, save and close. Move the program (or delete it). Open the program from the most recently used list, click away any dialogs and PC-DMIS will crash. It will leave a 12kb "corpse" with the program name in the folder where your program used to be.
I created the first new program in 2017 last week and noticed the same thing with t.p. Get everything dialed in, hit create and then watch the spinning wheel for 2-3 minutes. Pretty annoying when you're trying to get something done.
