How do I move all objects, paths and coordinates for example 1m in some direction?

Try creating work objects for all the paths and the moving the work object… I think, I am new to the robots 😉 but that is the way we do it where I work.

Hi,

You must create a workObjects there are very important to give some flexybility to your program. It’s very important to, define the correct tool. You must read the manuals of your robot it gives some examples!

best regards,
