With how common remote work is these days, I'm wondering if anyone has ever been able to obtain an offline seat and a company-supplied workstation to program from home? I'd imagine that a lot of trust and prestige would be needed to be able to do this.
We have the option to work from home, but I prefer to be where the action is.
All our programming is done offline and released to the production floor.
Proving programs out is optional to the programmer, although I prefer that. We do a lot of work on parts that aren't around, so most of the time we don't have a part in hand.
bfire85 - I've had to create a 100% program for a high volume production part that is only a bit above 2" long and the OD is not even 1/4" and have had to use multiple probe tip angles to be able to access all of the features on these parts. I can't imagine what it would take to program this offline. Nothing but mad respect to you and anyone else who are able to visualize the CMM space and work with it to come up with solid programs that can be confidently proven out with little to no changes made.
