Hi all, I am trying to import curves from Fusion360 into RoboDK and having a frustrating go of it. If I try to export using the RoboDK Fusion360 plugin, I get the following message "Can't simulate or generate programs because the robot can't reach the start point". It does this even when I know the curves are in a reachable location. I'm not sure why it matters though, as I should be able to import the curves and then move them into whatever frame at whatever location I like. Since this didn't work, I tried exporting the curves as a DXF and then importing into RoboDK with the DXF add in, but since Fusion will only export splines/arcs, the imported curve is not smooth (apparently RoboDK does not support splines and arcs). Fusion360 is supposed to have an add in for exporting polyline DXF's, but that does not appear to work in the newer versions. I can import an STL and trace a curve from that, but for various reasons, this is not going to work for what I'm doing. Has anyone else found out how to get curves into RoboDK from Fusion360? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I assume that the optimization parameters for the trajectory need to be adjusted.
Please take a look at the following video where we export curves from Fusion360 to create a weld path:

Thanks so much for the fast response! It turns out the problem was that I had it set to simulate after importing the curves, which failed because the curves were not within the reach of the robot. Once I set things to perform no update or simulation, I was able to upload them no problem, move them to the correct position and then simulate. Thanks!
