I have a set of target points and path in one station. Now I want to use the same targets and path in a new station.

Synchronize to RAPID on old station, save the module out, load module to new virtual controller, synchronize to station.

It worked. Thank you very much.

Can I have two modules in one station ? Because I had to replace the (empty) module while loading the old module (with required target points and paths)

Multiple modules in the virtual controller is okay but not with the same name or same named data – it will save over modules, procedures, and program data (targets, work objects, etc.) that have the same name when you synchronize to RAPID. If you want to keep the previous data, it’s easiest to right-click and save the module out of RobotStudio rather than renaming everything every time you synchronize to RAPID.
