RelDist argument not working [Painting PowerPac]

I have been working on a 4 robot painting system and having a lot of trouble with getting the second two robots to wait for the work object.  I have added the argument RelDist to the WaitWobj in the Path & Tagets browser but it will not sync to the virtual contrller.  No errors.  I finally went into the program editor and found it was missing.  I entered the argement in the program editor and then synced to station and the conveyor tracking works great.  Is this a known problem?  Am I doing something wrong?

  • The problem was with the task frames and the base coordenate system.  With RS 5.14 when using set position to move robots it also moves the task frame.  Then if you set the base coordinate it does not work right.  It is best to use base frame to move robots into position if possible, otherwise there is more work to be done.
