Path From Curve.

RobotStudio

Hi,

Does anyone know if it’s possible to specify how many tag points to create on a curve?

Currently I can only specify the offset between the tag points using the ‘constant / constant distance’ field. I would like to select a curve then create x number of tag points along that curve (allowing the software to workout the specing between the tag points).

Any ideas…???

Cheers,

Paul.

Hi Paul,
No that is not possible. But I will add it as a request for future releases.

Hi
Writing the stuff yourself is much more fun :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Here is an addin that does this.
Just copy the dll to "where you installed RS"inAddins.

A new button will show up in the Home tab just after Path from Curve.
It’s only enabled if you have selected a Curve.

This is the first version so there are a lot of features missing like

  • Be able to select several curves (now only on a single curve)
  • Be able to select task/workobject (now active workobject)
  • Define target names (now CurveTarget_xx)
  • Set travel axis (now no alignment at all)

But still it will distribute the amount of targets with equal distance along the curve.
If you select start/end the input amount of targets will be reduced by 1 or 2.

Let me know if you find any buggs or improvments(I’m sure there is because I haven’t tested it a lot)

Thanks Anders / Per.

I’ll give the addin ago and let you know how I get on.
