I had a part with a lot of dimensions on it. In the area of 500 including multipliers. Doing this part really made me realize how the dimensioning in PC-DMIS could use some updating. One idea I had that would of helped me quite a bit would be the ability to lock a feature label so it moves around with the cad screen as you go from end of a part to another. Another thought I had was the ability to keep one surface permanently selected then you would only have to go to the other end of the part and select the features you need. For example I had a lot of dimensions from Datum A to other features at the other end of the part. It would of been nice to only select datum a once, find the other feature. Make sure nominal and tolerance is correct, put in my dim number hit enter then move on without having to reclick datum A. I know it seems trivial but if you have to do that 30-40 times its not so trivial anymore.
Does anyone else have any other Ideas or thoughts on this? Does anyone have their own shortcuts they have come across?
If that is something we can already do then I would love to know how.
