How can I attach the robot to a track so that it is rotated 180 degrees compared to the “standard” position?

Hi,  
First create a system with robot on track with the robot in the “standard” position.  
Then open **System Configuration** and change the Z rotation to 180 deg. for the robots base frame.

Press **OK** and restart the controller. When the controller is restarted you will get a message that says that the Base Frame definition is not the same as in the VC.  
Click YES, now should the robot rotate 180 deg.
