Hi everyone,
I need to export an Item from RoboDK as a tool because I need it to have its own zero and  a fixed frame on the surface (basically the zero where the flange is and the frame where the suction cups are, in the case of a gripper).
I then need to load this tool and attach it to an object that's not a robot, keeping the two frames alive. 
If I try to drop my tool under another item, it gets changed to a generic item and it loses the suckers frame.
Is there a way to accomplish this?
Thank you!

Yes, you can accomplish converting a tool to an object and vice versa with a custom script.

For example, you can do this to drop the tool:

Code:

tool.setParentStatic(reference)
tool.setParam("Convert", "Tool")

And you can do this to pick it up:

Code:

tool.setParentStatic(reference)
tool.setParam("Convert", "Object")

Thank you a lot! I missed this command in the list. It works perfectly
