Hey everyone, Matt here, newbie KRL guy.
How do you duplicate a module from the SmartPAD? I have a motion program that I would like to copy and save as another name. Then "touch-up" the points in the copy.
When I tried "Duplicate" under the Edit menu, the system duplicated just the .src file and not the .dat file also.
Then I tried doing a brute force Copy and Paste. Here's the steps I went through:
1) Made sure I was logged in as Expert
2) Created a new module and named it (both a .src and .dat files were created)
3) Selected the .src file to be copied. Did a BLOCK SELECT and highlighted all of the lines between the 2 HOME moves. Selected Edit, then COPY.
4) Selected the new .src file previously created, BLOCK SELECT the line after the first HOME move, then EDIT, PASTE.
When I did this procedure, the new file had one more line in it than the original.
To compare the 2 files, I booted up WorkVisual, opened each program and copied and pasted the lines into 2 Notepad files. When I compare the files in the Notepad files, they are very different. I'm guessing that 2 different templates were used when the 2 modules were first created.
So my question stands. How do you make a copy of module?
thanks
