Tell us your PC-DMIS Vision Enhancement Suggestions

Although a similar thread exists on the main PC-DMIS forum, I thought it would be useful to get some vision specific feedback.

Internally, we have around 200 ideas for Vision improvements, some radical and big, some smaller but still of benefit. In order to help prioritize/schedule them, it would be good to find out which are perceived to be the most important to the most people.

Some questions to get you thinking :-

What can't you do that you want?
What would make programming easier?
What Auto Features would you like available for a Video Probe?
What wonderful new enhancement idea would you like to see?
How important is blob analysis?
How important is OCR?
More filtering needed?
Could Screen Captures be improved?
Are diagnostics tools sufficient?
Is AutoTune useful and how could it be improved?
Should we try to optimize measurement speed?
Do we give too much control over focus measurement (i.e. do we make it too easy to get the wrong result by going too fast)?

Thanks in advance for your input.

  • A couple things I would like to see changed in the next version are crosshairs instead of a pointer. As a dedicated off-line user and having some 10 plus yeares doing this sort of thing I've found the software that has Crosshairs make it infinately easier to tell where that touch point center is going to be.
    Second, I'd also like to be able to move stuff using transform by level. Restrict the Transform to only the active levels. In short, if a level is turned off, transform doesn't touch it.
    And the third Item I'd like to see is the ability to assign my mouse buttons. I don't use a 3 button mouse because my job requires me to use other cad software as well. I use an 8 button trackball and I've found that PCDmis buttons are exactly backward to most of the other CAD software I use and it it the only one where button reassignment is not possible. This gets frustrating when going between applications. Muscle memory is real. I'd like to be able to reassign the buttons.
