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.

    If I'm ever 'struggling' to come up with the movepoint values, I will often switch to Polar mode(in the movepoint window). Generally this will be my fastest way to pop in a movepoint when the X,Y,Z may not be so easy to guess at. This will also generate (like Clearplane/Avoidance move) some consistency in the moves throughout your program.
