Offline Program with an Online Seat

KamikazeKonrad
I know this isn't news to many currently using the forum, but for those interested in offline programming when all they have is an online seat (dongle's married to a CMM), there was in the past a workaround to programming offline, that may still work for you.

Download and install PCDmis version 3.5 or earlier on a computer you want to offline program from. Locate the file interfac.dll in the install folder and rename it to anything other than interfac.dll. Plug your dongle into the USB port, and you're good to go. You may not be programming in the latest version, but any newer version will open the older versions saves, and furthermore, with a program like UltraVNC, you can remote access the computer you've set up and program from anywhere.

The only issue is that you can't run your CMM while you have the dongle in another computer.

  • The antonym of "greedy" is "charitable." Do you wish to do business with a charity? When I bought machines from Hexagon years before coming here, I was happy they were profitable, because if they were not, my investment in their products would be worthless. If I sensed that a company was so desperate to sell me a machine (and I bought a lot of equipment from all sorts of companies) I would run away. My company made millions of blades a year, we could not afford to fool around with companies that could not back up their product with a long term commitment for services and support.
