IPR with no spindle encoder on a lathe?

Can you still use IPR with no spindle encoder on a lathe? I know that I needed to do a G98 to get G1 work but have not tried to run an entire part yet with IPR. Will I be able to run IPR or am I stuck in IPM mode until I get an encoder? Is it as simple as manually overriding the spindle and putting ...

Video or procedure to take a part drawing from autocad inventor/fusion and inputting it into centroid acorn?
