Command "Convert toMove Circular" not available

Hi everybody,

I have created a path with MoveL instructions and I need to convert some of these instruction to MoveC.
But the command "Convert toMove Circular" not available, when I select 2 MoveL instructions.

Do you have any idea?

  • First U need to select two MoveJ/L instructions and Click Modify, then "Convert to Move Circular" will be shown.

    Refer to the picture below.

  • Hi innebandy,

    thanks for your reply.

    That's what I did. As usual, by selecting 2 MoveL and also with a MoveJ and a MoveL.
    But no way.

  • Hi,

    One condition is that both instructions must use the same wobj and tooldata.
    If that is not the problem I'm not sure what it can be. Can you upload the station?

  • Hi Johannes,

    I use the same wobj and the same tooldata.
    One strange thing is that when I created my positions, I checked the option to insert them into an existing path. I did first only one half of my path, when the Move instructions were created, I had no problem to convert some in MoveC. But when I created the second part of my path in the same way then before the problem occured, the command wasn't available anymore.

    How can I send you the P&G?
    Regards

  • Hi,

    The problem is that the existing MoveL instructions have a different process ("Depart") than MoveC ("Move").

    For convert to circular to work, there must exist a circular instruction in the same process as the selected instructions.
    You can fix this in "Edit Instruction Templates".

  • HI Johannes,

    I expected something like this.
    I've changed the process name "Depart" to "Move" for all the instruction template.

    Now it's ok.

    Thanks a lot
