Hello to all, please help. After import of gcode and export of rapid program to virutal controller we got auto-generated rapid code with bunch of errors. What are we doing wrong? Also RobotStudio doesn’t give “target orientation” window in 3DP tab.

Thanks.

Hi,  
Have you installed the 3DP RobotWare Add-In in the Virtual Controller?

Yes, the 3DP Add in creates all these new instructions which would otherwise not be recognized.
