When converting G code to TP using the NC conversion software option, the units in the G code must be mm/min, which is then rewritten in cm/min in the TP program. Ideally, I would like to get it in mm/s in the TP program. There is no way to do this that I can see in the reference manual for the NC conversion. Is it possible, or am I stuck with cm/min?

I have a new predicament in relation to this. I was using this as a test for using a program that is much larger as the called subprogram. Now rather than one point, it has to move to thousands of points, as the path is creating circular paths using tiny linear moves, due to other software's limitations. I obviously cannot go through and add offsets to thousands of lines of already generated code. Is there another way to accomplish the same effect but with so many points?

That got it working, thank you so much!

Ah okay. I'm fairly new to robot programming, it seemed the easiest way to get it to do what I wanted to shift the user frame. How would I use the direct offset?

I am working in ROBOGUIDE trying to get the robot to move in a line in the X direction, and then shift 100 mm in the Y direction, and repeat this as many times as specified in the For loop.
This is the code I am currently using, with the TSET being a program that simply joint moves to one point and linearly moves to a second point:
UFRAME_NUM = 3
FOR R[4] = 0 TO 3
CALL TSET
PR[1]=UFRAME[3]
PR[1,2]=PR[1,2]+100
UFRAME[3]=PR[1]
ENDFORThe problem I'm having is that the program does the right number of loops, but does not shift in the Y direction at all, and I'm at a loss as to why. Any help is appreciated, thank you!
