How do I start UR5e programs using RTDE?

General Application Help: How do I?
1

I have a UR5e where I have established TCP/IP connection and successfully ran the basic control loop example from the RTDE guide. This requires running both codes at the pendant and the PC python script. I would like to

  1. Start a robot program remotely from my PC without the pendant (remote operation)
  2. Setup a list of positions from a dxf file to run to build my part

Any ideas on how to best do this? Thanks
