    System From Layout does not support configuration of spot guns. You need to configure it manually. After you've started a system with the appropriate RobotWare option for spot welding, you need to manually add the configuration file for the spot gun, and then point out the mechanism when RobotStudio asks for the mechanism corresponding to the external axis.
