Hello,
I'm new to RoboDK and I'm trying to do a reach study with a robot and some CAD data from a customer. In terms of importing the CAD data and being able to manipulate it (move objects around, add coordinate frames) what is the best format for that CAD data to be in before importing? I know RoboDK supports STEP and IGES formats but I've been told OBJ format is better to work with (less computationally intensive when manipulating). Are there some considerations to make if I want to separate the objects within that CAD data and move them around (example - there are multiple racks I want the robot to place parts on)?
Thanks,
Brent
