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.

  • My machine will not execute with any other PCDMIS windows open, only shows the animation on screen but CMM does not move. I have often wondered if there is any way to get around programming offline w/o a license.

    Could you call the program from a script (or in like Word or something with OLE code), or is that going to be basically the same thing as having 2 windows open? My cmm isn't automated like that so it's probably a dumb question.
