John,
Yes, as long as the "User Files Location" for both profiles have the exact same file path. ?If you are also doing decoder programming, you want to make sure the "Roster Location" for each profile matches.
Use "Help >> Locations..." to see the current location information.
If you go to Preferences >> Config Profiles, at the bottom of the screen you can enable "Show profile selector". ?This makes it easy select the proper profile based on the layout connection state.

So, once a simulator protocol is created, I can move back and forth between online and offline mode without losing any of the programming that has been done as long as I switch to simulator mode when opening panel pro offline?
Thank you,
John

John,
When you want to work offline, you need to use a simulation profile.? For example, if you normally have an NCE connection, the simulation profile would use the NCE Simulator.? Most the connection types will have a simulation mode.
Since the simulation profile will have its own default location for panels and rosters, you will need to use Preferences >> File Locations to change the "User Files Location" to your regular location.

Yesterday everything was working correctly: turnouts, sensors, signals, blocks. Today I tried to work offline. Everything in the tables was converted to internal devices. I tried opening some backups of the XML files and most, not all, of the devices were now missing from the tables and what was there was still internal. Offline work seems to be a mistake. Is there a way to recover from this mistake?
I am using windows 8 on an ASUS notebook.
Thanks,
John
