Smart Component Attacher\ Detacher

Is is possible to make the SC Attacher Detacher child to "find closest object any object"? Just like you can in the event manager?

Hi,

Yes, if you use the "Attacher" and "Detacher" in combination with the base component "ClosestObject". See the attached example station.

Sweet, now it is so obvious..

Well, I get it all to work when doing it manual, like in the example, but when I want to simulate it, the closest part (child) becomes the robot, not the actual part I want to attach. 

All the I/O connections are correct, and they are indicated correctly in the I/O-Simulator..

I'm total newbee in RS, so I may have made some fatal setup errors or something... hehe

To avoid that the robot is the closest object you ca try to change the property "ReferencePoint".

But I recommend that you use a line or plane sensor instead of "ClosestObject".

Got it now, I used plane sensor like you said... 

tnx
