Re: Reverse path deletes SetBrush
@Neily03 Sorry for the delay in response. We have received the details about the issue and working on the same. You can expect the fix in the upcoming release of Painting PowerPac 2025.4
Re: Can the orientation of a source be set variably?
Yes, you need to find a way to get the target orientation you want to use, make it a Vector3 type and then connect it to the property 'Orientation' of the source block.
If the orientation of the gripper means the orientation of gripper TCP, you can use default SmartComponent 'RapidVariable' to get it.

WZLimSup : limit working area with world zones
I am able to configure a static world zone that limits the working area of the robot : if the robot enters the zone in automatic mode, the robot stops.
In the documentation I saw that the limitiation also works for jogging, but in robotstudio I can jog althrough the zone without restriction.
Are there some rules to apply to make the zone active also for jogging and not only in automatic, because in my case it only works in automatic.
Thanks.

Re: Ethernet/IP Byte Order Issue
You could try mapping them in a different order. They do not have to be continuous bits. From the Technical reference manual, System parameters:
Examples of valid mapping of an analog or group signal (2-32 bits):
• 4, 6-7
• 16-31
• 8-15, 0-7
One caution, ensure that your bit mapping in this way does not cross byte boundaries, e.g., 14-21.

Dynamic collision avoidance
Hi all,
I have read about the controller option "Collision Avoidance" and that it is useful when you have objects which can change their position and that you can detect with sensors like cameras, etc.
Actually from the manuals that I found online, it seems like you have to load all the geometries from RobotStudio and so in this case you can't manage objects that moves.
How is it possible to manage collision avoidance through program execution (for example to detect the position and volume of an object and add it to the list of geometries you must avoid)?
Is there a good and exhaustive manual about Collision Avoidance option? I've just found a few pages on some manual that do not explain a lot...
Thank you!

Re: Tool Creation - SolidWorks vs RobotStudio Center of Mass and Moments of Inertia Calculations
To run LoadIdentify in OmniCore, ensure the tool or part is already installed or picked by the robot.
1. Click on 'Code' in HOME view
2. Click on 'Debug'
3. Click on 'Call Routine'
4. Select 'LoadIdentify' and click on 'Go to'
5. Run the routine

Possible to add a grid to design the pages?
It would be great if developpers could add a grid to have a good design on the pages...
Re: Things to add in Appstudio
6. It would be nice to be able to modify id of the graphic elements. Now if you will add custom component and id in it will be doubled in app it will not work correctly.
7. There is no space to add global objects/methods and call them in a way that It will be available and running for the whole app all the time. Not only on some event. I mean that i would like to for example read some file and have some possibility to have access to the content from all components, not only locally where i was reading file. It is troublesome because filestream is limited on the robot controller and if you are using it also in the RAPID it can corrupt files.

Guide: How to Set Up I/O on an ABB Robot with an IRC5 Controller
Hi guys - thanks for helping me get digital I/O working on my IRC5 controller with the DSQC 652 I/O module. After asking many questions, I finally got it working yesterday. As I looked for answers and searched through old forum posts, collecting clues to the process here and there, I found the question of how to get I/O working on the IRC5 was nothing new. So I decided to document the process in a guide that will hopefully make it easier on the next roboticist who needs to get this working. I've attached the guide to this post. It's far from fully comprehensive but should definitely help speed the process.
Happy to make some (light) revisions so comments are welcome, and though I poke fun in the guide, thanks to Henrik for the youtube video that got me started.
