Unfortunately doesnA’t the AddIn work on RS 5.14.
As soon as I have fixed the problem I will upload a new version on the Community.

Hello Anders,
This needs to be a standard power pac for robot studio. There are many customers that request this and make purchasing decisions on this functionality. The PDD no longer accepts product improvement request. Please add this to Robot Studio as a product.

Hello Jim,
I will discuss with my colleagues to do this as an official supported PowerPac.
But in the meanwhile have I uploaded a new AddIn on the community that should work on 5.14. Please let me know if it doesnA’t.

Hello Anders,
The ImportCF add-in does not load. I am attaching screen shot and RS Support Tool file. I still have an XP computer. Will be getting Win 7 /32 soon.

Hello Jim,
When did you downloaded the AddIn? I found an error in the dll-file today, so I uploaded a new version a couple hours ago.

Try to download again, I think you use the wrong version.

Hello Anders,
I have a new laptop w/ Win7 32. I tried again to load the ImportCF add-in and it still does not load. I am attaching error log files. It gave this error:
An attempt was made to load an assembly from a network location which would have caused the assembly to be sandboxed in previous versions of the .NET Framework. This release of the .NET Framework does not enable CAS policy by default, so this load may be dangerous. If this load is not intended to sandbox the assembly, please enable the loadFromRemoteSources switch. See [\ Element | Microsoft Learn](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=155569) for more information.
Is there something I need to do on my end to allow this to load?

Hello Jim,
For some reason thinks your PC that the AddIn is loaded from a network location (which not is true). However, we can allow RS to load files from network locations by adding a line in the file:
_C:Program Files (x86)ABB Industrial ITRobotics ITRobotStudio 5.14BinRobotStudio.exe.config_
So add the marked line in the picture below to your “RobotStudio.exe.config” file, and try again.

Hi! I would like to know what is the format that the Coordinate File Import Add-in need to have to convert the csv file to robtargets and path? I have tried this format:
x-coordinate, y-coordinate, z-coordinate, s-Quaternion, i-Quaternion, j-Quaternion, k-Quaternion.
I have a position trajectory that resembles that of my csv file, however, the orientations of each robtarget do not seem to follow that specified in the csv file. Is my input format used correct?
Thank you!

I just tested the add-in and it seems as the format is
`x, y ,z ,Rx ,Ry, Rz
`
I succeeded in importing a file with the following content
`1,2,3,4,5,6
`
The addin created the following robtarget

Hi
Will there be support to ImportCF add-in for RS5.15?
I do not get the ImportCF add-in to work in RS5.14.03.
I have done the suggestion above and that did not help.
I still get this meassage?:

If you have not done so already, try right-clicking on the addin dll in explorer and select “Properties”. If you see a button called “Unblock” near the bottom, press it.
