Manipulation of the path |

Hi,
Is there any thought on allowing the manipulation of the path generated by the path planning cap? Like being able to cut it into segments or snipping a set amount from the beginning or end? Maybe even including buttons to move the robot to the start and end points?
Thanks,
Paul

The challenge that you get when you split the path into several smaller path is the start and stop position of each path that would need to match in order to have a smooth transition between the paths. When you split the path into 2 smaller ones, that is simple to do. You would teach both path first. Then if you want to teach the second path, you simply move the robot to the end of path number 1, press record and record path 2 as many times as you want. For the first path, the technique would be to move to the beginning of path #2, press record, move the robot to teach path #1 but in reverse direction. Once done stop recording and hit the reverse path button option to reverse path #1. You can check the video below. In this one I have two path. First, I run both path. Then I go to the first point of the second path command, I re-record path 1 in reverse and reverse the path in the UR Caps path recording interface. Do you have any strategies to split up the path into more than two segments?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dlbxh4c4U2Q&feature=youtu.be
Another argument to avoid implementing a path editor is that would take us a lot of time to do and the result would be probably a complicated software.
But if you still have a specific problem where editing a path would be greatly helpful, don't hesitate to post it. We could surely find a solution.
