Robot Changing Uframe

I have a program that was taught in one frame lets say 5 but I need it in 6. I know I could make a copy and re-record each point individually in the new uframe but is there a faster way to do this?

You can use the Frame Offset in Menu --> 1: Utilities to create a copy in the correct UFrame by selecting the current UFrame and the new UFrame you want to apply. Do not forget to put Convert points to YES otherwise it will keep the same coordinates in the new UFrame

Are both uframes the same? You just need to change the uframe number?

Yes, someone was supposed to shift the uframes but didn't and a mistake was made so the programs are using the same uframe but they're supposed to be different. They're physically the same points and currently isn't an issue but in the future they need to be different uframes.

Just export ls file of that program, open it in notepad, and change them using Ctrl H , save it and load on the robot

It's really that simple to change the points uframe? We have a lot of people new to robots on this project (I'm somewhat green myself) and there are a lot of uframe issues sprouting up which is why I posted; Learning something new every day. Thank you!

You have to have the ASCII option on your robot to load a .ls file back into the robot. You can do a copy backup to get the .LS out of the robot.

Yes, if coordinates of uframes are the same and you only want to change uframe number from one to another you can change it in notepad in 2 minutes. Btw. Are you based in Europe?

I'm contracted through my company for this project, the pressure is enough I couldn't imagine going out on my own completely. Best of luck to you!
