Path From Curve Feature

How do I change the start point and direction when using the "path from curve" feature?

Comments

  • The feature "Create Path from Curve" will act on the curve as is. You can use the "Modify Curve" functions on the modeling tab, to modify the curve according to your needs  (Reverse, Trim, etc.)

  • Thanks!  That helped me with the direction.

    I'm still not sure what to do with an imported surface.  I make the border around the surface, but nothing I do seems to change the starting point.  What am I missing?

  • If you use "Border around Surface" you can not control where the curve will start, but if you instead use "Border from Points", the first point will be the start point of the curve, and later on the start point of the path.

  • Hi,

    I was wondering how is it possible to make a path out of  "Borders from points" ? Border from points output is a part which I didn't even manage to click on it to make a autopath !!! Is there any solution around this ? Confused

    What about for "Borders around surface" and "borders around bodies" ?

    Thanks in advance for your reply ...

  • Yes it is. Regardless of how you have created your border it will be of the type "curve" in RobotStudio. To create a path from the curve you should first turn on selection level curve, then right click on the curve and select AutoPath in the context menu. Now should the curve be selected in the AutoPath window.
