Programming offline while running program online

Our shop does not have any offline license, so to get around this I have tried opening a second PC-DMIS window in the background. The first program I open is online and I can run parts with it. The second program I open is offline and will not communicate with the machine, so I use this to write programs.

I have only tried doing this a few times so far. Twice I was able to program and inspect simultaneously with no problems. A third time my online program would run, but the report window showed up in a different format, and many of my dimensions were missing.

Has anybody had any experience with this? I am running v4.2.

  • I do this quite a bit as I do also do not have a offline seat. I have had problems when a big program finishes executing when I have another offline program open, and it crashes pcdmis. My fix has been too close up the offline program before the one that is executing on the machine finishes. This has worked for me.
