X9 Multiple sessions

[TERRYH]

Is it possible to have and use 2 sessions of X9 open at the same time on the same computer, because it gives you a warning when trying to open the second session. I have a rather complicated part in one of our 5-axis machines that was programmed by our other guy who is on vacation, but the part has a lot of back drafted and undercut areas were trying to machine and if the operator sees it wont clear the head on the machine he will stop it and move the head around manually to a point where it will clear, then come tell me hey we need to change this from C-135. to C-145. and Ill change it and reprocess and post it. but I also have stuff I am working on and I don't want to have to keep opening and closing these parts as that are rather large. If I could safely have 2 sessions open to where I could just minimize the one and work on the other it would be such a time saver. But the warning says it could be unstable and have data loss

It's hit or miss...

 

many will tell you they run multiple sessions countless times with no issue....

 

There is always that small group of people that will have an issue.....

 

That's why the warning.....for the small percentage that do have a problem....

 

2017 supports multiple sessions now

I have two open sessions of X9 that I'm working on right now, one is a mold plate and the other is an electrode.  Been doing this in X9 for a long time.  Doesn't seem to cause any trouble here.

I have 2 to 5 sessions open almost daily and have never had a problem.

Never had a problem except when using Productivity+, which expressly does not support multiple sessions.

Thanks for the replies, I talked to our re seller and he said there may be a issue when it comes to changing stuff and saving it hence the data loss, so I think I'll pass don't want to take the chance.

I've had as many as seven sessions of X9 open and never had an issue. Right now I have four sessions of 2017 open even though three are currently empty. I seem to have less issues with the tool manager with at least three sessions open. Four might be better. I haven't crashed yet today.
