Can you virtually control the pendant remote while programming in offline?

CMM2020
Hi guys...

I've been trying to find a feature that allows me to virtually move my probe when programming offline using the pendant.

I am having no luck. Is there a feature that allows me to do this or would this be a feature worth adding to future builds of the software?

Instead of using clearance planes and clearance cube,
I want to be able to quickly insert move points in space and I find the easiest way to do that would be to virtually control the machine and then use ctrl-m to add a move point.

I basically want to be able to move the CMM virtually instead of physically using the physical pendant remote.

Anyone know if this is do-able?

Thank you.

    The only issue is they removed it's use after beginning a program execution, so you can't move the probe to a readpoint like when online.
    To overcome the above, I've started: 

                IF/SN=="EXAMPLE"
             MOVE/POINT,NORMAL,<1.153,0.1,0>
              COMMENT/OPER,NO,FULL SCREEN=NO,AUTO-CONTINUE=YES,TIME DELAY=1,
              Offline move
              MOVE/POINT,NORMAL,<1.153,0.1,0>
            END_IF/
PNT_READ_01=FEAT/POINT,CARTESIAN
            THEO/<1.153,0.1,0>,<0,-1,0>
            ACTL/<1.153,0.1,0>,<0,-1,0>
            READPOINT/


    Not sure why, but I had to duplicate the movepoint around a timed comment to get the probe to go where I wanted.
    Hope one of these options may help with what you are trying to do.
