Can you change the UF in the position display, I see where you can change the group and the CONF, but not the UF? Help please!

Unfortunately you can't directly change it on the teach pendant.
Your options are:
1. Change the active frame to what you want, move to and touch up the point. It will ask you if you want to update the frame.
2. Open the .ls file of the program. Change the frame number. Convert back to TP and load onto the robot. This requires either Roboguide, OLPCPRO, or Ascii upload.

It is possible to change the UF and UT number with an Utility in the TP.
There are called Frame Offset and Tool Offset. You can find them in MENU-UTILITIES.You can change the UT# or UF# of specific lines or the whole program, and also define if the robot path will be the same with the new UT/UF or will change according to the new origin of the UT/UF.
I've seen that option since RJj3iB (V6.40)

Yes the Offset utility is a 3rd option but it does not actually modify the existing points in the program. It either forces you to add additional new points into a program or create a new program with a different name. You could however use this utility to create the new program, delete the old one, then rename the new one to the old name.
IMHO this is a lot of run around just to change the UF or UT number, which is why I prefer to change it in the LS file. If I did not have capability to do the LS to TP conversion then the offset utility is a good alternative.

If you are looking for a quick change of a couple positions, you can just Step through your program to that position Manually change to whatever UF you want, record a new position a delete the original position. Or Re-record that position while you have the new UF you want activated.
