I have only been using PC DMIS for about a year now. But there is one thing that has really bothered me and that is the lack of ability to edit - on the fly. Maybe it exists? But, I have not found a way to add a move point or edit a hit or two within a feature during run. This would be very useful. Is there a way to edit a hit point or add a move while in execution or even 'suspended execution' without cancelling the execution?
Edit while running?

You can set a breakpoint and run the program up to that point and then step it from there. Making changes to a program while it is paused can result in some odd behaviur. It sometimes tries to rerun the changes and this may be unexpected.

OK. I was looking for something silimar to the 'find hole' thing. When find hole can't find a hole it asks if you want to update target. Would be nice to have that option of points measured on a feature. I haven't actually found a 'good' way to alter a point or two in the first place. As far as I know there is now way to just 'teach' it a new point. I have always keyed it in.
Anyway, since that door is closed what about printing? When I stop execution and edit a feature / CTRL U and move on I have to remember to turn printing OFF or I will get a partial printout. Is there a way to force PC DMIS to go ahead and give a full printout after I edit / ctrl u?Bill Jarrells
