Hi i’m new in this RobotStudio.

I’ve a SmartComponent which makes a copy [Source] of an object. Properties of Source: When I type a number (ex. 100mm) in Position (x,y,z) and then execute the signal then the object is created but far far away from it’s position.

I’ve also installed SP1 from [www.robotstudio.com](http://www.robotstudio.com) but still not working.

Did anyone have this problem?

Best Regards  
Fatih

Hi  
Could it be that you gave in 100 meter? A lot of values are in meter and not in mm.

Best regards

Hi Marcel. The offset in the Source proberties was in mm. I tested a pack&go from Fatih and faced the sam problem. 1 mm offset result in 10000 mm offset but zero mm offset worked.

I also see the local origon and it was okay. i think it’s a bug
