Programming offline while running program online

TheBradish
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.

    If my math is correct? You've had a .667 success rate. If thats acceptable then keep on doing what you're doing. Regardless of version, you're better off NOT running a 2nd program "in the background". Experience has shown (at least for me) that the background is where the Demon loves to jasper up your programs. In short? I don't think it's a real swell idea.
