Modify all points

    Hello,

    got a short question about syntax. How can I adress all points in program? Hope example will make clearer what I want.
    Lets say points created by inline forms and I want them all to be in one plane, so I want all points to have Z=0. How to do this in for loop?

    FOR J=1 to 15
    XP1.Z=0 ; how to change 1 to J(what syntax) that controler would understand.
    ENDFOR

    I hope someone understands because explanaition was confusing. :icon_confused:

    Thanks

    That I can think of, you can't directly do this with the points created in an inline form. The point names could not be referenced in a FOR loop. HOWEVER, you could make those points equal to another set of points that are declared as an array. And then individually copy the array variable into the inline form point data before moving to that point.

    For example, declare an array position variable to whatever length you might need:

    Code
    DECL E6POS posVar[10] ;Using a length of 10 just as an example.

    When you create a point using an inline form, copy that point data back into the associated posVar[] array position. Once you're done with your path, you would simply add the following code to the top of your program:

    Code
    FOR idx = 1 TO (index length)
   posVar[idx].Z = 0
ENDFOR

    And then copy the array variable into each associated inline form point before moving to that point:

    Code
    XP1 = posVar[1]
LIN XP1 ... (I don't have the complete syntax of the inline form memorized.)

    It's clunky, but I think it's really the only way to do what you're trying to do.

    Oh man.. you, this forum and this program is life savior(it's hard when you start form scratch with KUKA and don't know esential tools and programing language despite having advanced knowlage in robotics), I just thought is there beter editor where you can see structure better. I'll look into that function and I think it will be perfect. Thanks.
