Option to disable Follow Program Pointer by default

Hi,

I would like to request an option to disable the Follow Program Pointer by default. Whenever you login to a robot during production or during simulations, you often want to focus on a specific piece of code. To do that, you always need to disable the follow program pointer option. Otherwise, you keep jumping all over the code.


I'd say >95% of the time I would like to -not- follow the program pointer. To me this is probably the most annoying thing in robotstudio, to always have to disable the follow program pointer. I would therefore like an option to change the default behaviour to "Do not Follow Program Pointer".

Kind regards,

Snampo

    Nice to see that feature added.  Now just need to make the rest of RS 6.07 work.  When we load a program module into the station or sync it from Rapid while it does load the paths don't show up even though they are set to visible.  Also it appears to not be compatible to the Painting PowerPac 6.06.01.

    We've had to go back to RS 6.06.01 as the new one is unusable.
