No CAD & Hopeless

Hello!
I've got a recurring issue around here; no CAD models!
Our QM handles communications between us and our customers; I'm just a lowly programmer, and am not allowed to get into contact with Engineering to get CAD models to inspect their parts. Apparently the boss doesn't want to; literally told me "yeah, that's not gonna happen. Can't you program without a CAD model?"

Working Offline on a laptop, because the desktop is currently in the hands of IT, dead.
Dafuq?

What should I do

Haven't had a CAD model in three years of programming for a giant dirt moving company.

You guys are spoiled!

An offline seat is pcdmis installed on a computer that is not connected to a CMM. the advantages of an offline seat is that you can make programs away from your machines, like in an office, copy the .prg and .cad files to a jump drive and move it over to the CMM. Prove out the program by aligning to the part and checking your move points, and ta da.

My CMMs are always in use so I can't program at the machine so I do it offline.

Most offline seat users are for CMMs. I've never made an offline program for an ARM. we dont have one :P
