Hi.  
I have a problem that have hunted me for some days now.  
I have Line sensor the set the parent and another line sensor to set the child in a attacher, and it works well for the first shaft but when the next comes the attacher parent doesnt change to the the new shaft. any ide how i can solve this??

Another question.  
I wonder if i can choose what objects that will be used in Smart component collision sensor? Is it just to delete some in the parent list??

Hi,  
It’s difficult to say what goes wrong, but if you send me a Pack and Go of the station, I can take a look.

I’ve been trying to set parent with a sensor now for a while, but only come up with the error: Property Binding failed to set ‘Parent’ (Value is not allowed).

Is it not possible to do so, or is it a bug in Robotstudio 2023.3?
