I’m fresh in working with RS 5.06. My problem is that after importing a geometry (\*.sat) RS won’t place the tcp to the position I want the tcp to be. The tcp-frame is always set in the origin of the geometry. After importing I click on the “Create Tool” icon and do follow the procedure. When I choose the position and click “Done” the tcp is not on the chosen position. What am I doing wrong? Thanks ---

Hi After you have selected the position you need to add that as a TCP by clicking the big button so that the tcp is added to the tool (you should see the at as an item in the TCP(s) listbox). Could that be the issue??? ---

Hi Per, thanks for the support. It was one of the issues. I did the procedure also in the wrong order. It`s working now.👏 Bye Vilo
