[Request] Detailed Jogging View
It would be great to have a detailed Jogging View. Preferably on the right side. Something like this:

Or this:

Hello Eric,
Thanks for the suggestion.
I will run this by R&D and get back to you.

Hello Eric,
Could you elaborate on your request - what exactly is missing from what can be shown currently in RobotStudio?
Thanks.—Maxim RiabichevPC Software Support Engineer0 -
The whole bread and butter work is moving the robot and teaching positions. So I think it could be more convenient than how it is now.Here an example of the current process:There are 2 tools and 2 wobjs.To jog the robot, I have to right click on the robot in Layout (only in Layout) and hit mechanism joint jog or mechanism linear jog.To have both and therefore switch fast between them, I have to teardown both panels and arrange them properly each session.If I want to switch the tool now, I have to look at the bottom panel (which is only visible in home tab, so I have to switch to home tab). To make the robot use the tool, I have to switch to tool in the mechanism linear jog panel.Now I jog the robot to a proper position. After that the position has to be saved in an instruction.I have to make a path active, so I switch to paths&targets to make the right path active. Now I want to change instruction options (not jogging) from linear to joint as well as used tool and wobj (also only possible in home tab).To save the robot pose in a new instruction I hit teach instruction in the top panel.Next postion is better reached with a different tool. So back to bottom panel and switching the tool. Also it needs to be a fine position and speed should be v100. Now back to mechanism jog linear window and setting it properly. Ok the teached position doesn't need to be a fine point, so back to Paths&Targets then right click on instruction -> modify instruction -> etc.Here an example how the more convenient process could be:You switch to teaching tab and now you have all options on a side panel: Joint jogging, linear jogging, switching of active tool and wobj, switching of instruction options and selecting the active path, for creating a new instruction. Also changing of instruction options could be located there.So, this is more something for a faster and productive workflow. It is not about functionality itself.0

Hello Eric,
Sorry for the slow response.
Thanks for the clear example.
I ran this by R&D and they agreed that this sounds like a good idea.
I have created a feature request for it, so now it's up to them to fit it into one of the iterations.
I'll get back to you when I have more news.
Thanks again!—Maxim RiabichevPC Software Support Engineer1 -
That's why I like ABB.Finally someone who hears the customer.0
