Points taught in wrong userframe.

    Hopefully you dont have to do 5 million points but an easy and tedious way is :

    Select the good user frame (SHIFT COORD)
    Run your program step by step
    On every point use TOUCHUP
    You will be prompt "Hey, you taught this point before with user frame such and such and now you want to change it to ......"
    Type the number of the correct user frame

    Retired but still helping

    Or use the Frame offset utility.
    Go to MENU, choose UTILITIES, press F1 [TYPE], and finally choose Frame offset menu. This utility allows you to translate positions between user frames.
    Just do some tests with it, and you'll figure it out.

    you can save the file to LS and use a txt editer to change the frame

    Be careful when doing this though, as the points will move with respect to the origin of the new frame if they are in XYZWPR format. Could lead to a crash.

    A safe way to do it if you don't have the frame utility is to change all the points in your path to Joint representation (this will "lock" the points in place, and make them not move with respect to the robot when the point's frame is changed), take it offline as an LS file and then change the frame in the /POS section of the program, load it back in and change all the points back to XYZWPR format.
