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.
