Watching a Program Execute CAD Only?

[ALousyUser]

Weird question, but is there a way to watch programs execute without using the CMM? I want to see the program go from start to finish with the virtual probe picking whatever features I made on the CAD model. Is this possible? I've tried Path Lines, but that's not quite what I'm looking for.

VIEW PATH LINES, then ANIMATE PATH (under the GRAPHICS menu)

Run it offline either on an offline seat OR open a second instance of pcdmis that will run offline on the CMM.

yeah actually click the execute button, animation speed is found at EDIT>PREFERENCES>under animation tab... set the slider to adjust animation speed then execute your program while watching graphic display window

You can run it offline without loading another program first, just be sure to select offline when you load the program, keep your focus on it, the option is there.
