TeachUp point is not in the current UF and TF

    Hi Guys,

    I'm started with a robot M-6i and controller R-J3.
    The current UF=4. When I Touchup a point and look in the Position screen I see that for that point UF=0.

    I think I once saw a way (a System variable) that can be used to make sure that every new point that you Touchup will be in a specific UF (and TF?).

    I guess this System variable has been set for this robot but I don't remember which variable it is. Who can help me out here?

    Best regards,
    Emile

    In the beginning of the program there is a line UFRAME_NUM = 4.
    When I check with buttons Shift+COORD I see the active uframe is 4.
    Also $MNUFRAMENUM[ ] indicates that the active frame is 4.
    At touchup I would expect the question about the frame number but it is not there.

    Changed the title of the thread from “TeachUp point is not in the currnet UF and TF” to “TeachUp point is not in the current UF and TF”.

    I found the System Variable that is responsible for the behaviour described above:

    The system variable $USEUFRAME defines whether the current value of
    $MNUFRAMENUM[group_no] will be assigned to the position's user frame when it is being
    recorded or touched up.
    • When $USEUFRAME = FALSE , the initial recording of positions and the touching
    up of positions is done with the user frame number equal to 0, regardless of the value of
    $MNUFRAMENUM[group_no].
    • When $USEUFRAME = TRUE , the initial recording of positions is done with the positionís
    user frame equal to the user frame defined by $MNUFRAMENUM[group_no]. The touching up
    of positions must also be done with the positionís user frame equal to the user frame defined by
    $MNUFRAMENUM[group_no].

    Remaining issue: On my RJ3 there is no such variable installed. Any idea how to solve this issue?
