When I attempt to move/jump from one instruction to another in ArcWare path I get an error message of “path that moves the object is not open”. Also, when I attempt to modify the position of the external axes of any of the instructions, the dialogue box is empty.

Hi,

I assume that you are working with AWPP. It is not clear from your description if the path containing the instructions was opened as the error message suggested?

As for you second question: Did you try to modify the external axis in RS base or AWPP?

Hi

Problem 1:The problem is, that in RS window you do not have the correct Wobj open in the top of the screen.

Try to add an ActUnit instruction to start the external axes, before other motion instructions?
