Target modification

RP

 I have just started working with robot studio and have simple question.  How can I modify and exiting point to represent the current position of my tool. ( I do not want to type anything, or copy and paste.  I want to highlight my point and say "teach":)

You can use ModifyPosition (c.f. ModPos on the FlexPendant) to modify the position of an existing target, see below

 

 

 

 

... or TeachInstruction to create a new instruction at the location of the tool

  I see what I was doing wrong.

 

1- in the case of trying to change position in editor I had checked "view robot at target" I would then jog the robot to new position and try to highlight the position which would then jump the robot to that position. so the correct sequence is to either uncheck "view robot at target" or highlight the point first and then jog the robot

 

2- in the case of teaching from teach pendant. My "modify position" was grayout.  Looks like I did not have write access. So even when i closed my rapid editor that act did not give pendant write access.  I am getting write access by: closing the editor, change into auto and then back into manual. Is this the proper way of getting "write access"?

Answser to 2: RobotStudio is designed to supporess the Write Access mechanism when working with a VC. That is why you may need to switch to Manual on the VFP to make it get the Write Access.
