Hello, 
I'm trying to use the palletizing plugin to create sub-programs for a part stacking operation. Ultimately I plan to use a KAREL file to call these programs. 
The problem is that the frame isn't defined in most of the programs when I export them. The frame is only defined in the first and sometimes second part drop program. From what I can tell the frame reference is set in all programs and the .LS files should all contain the frame definition. I've attached a screen grab of both roboDK and the .LS files for the first two drop programs.  

I've read that the post processor might be removing repetitive frame definitions and I've taken a look at that but I didn't see anything obvious...

I'd like to be able to use multiple frames to define the pickup table and the pallets. Thus needing to switch between the pick table frame and the pallet frame for every step.

Please advise
Thanks

RoboDK automatically filters setting the same reference frame multiple times.

You can remove this filter by following these steps:

1. Select Tools-Options
   
2. Select Program
   
3. Uncheck the option Filter setting reference and tool frames.

Thanks for the quick reply. That fixed that issue but brought back another one.
Sometimes when I export the programs there is a move missing. This time it looks like its only in a few programs.
There should be 5 moves and 5 targets/positions in each part drop program. Now layer 0 position 2 through 7 are missing a move.

What might be the cause of this?

I should clarify, the only thing that I changed was that "Filter setting reference and tool frames" checkbox. This problem was not present in last export but it has happened before.

There is a filter to remove movements that are very close to each other.

You can reduce or disable this filter by following these steps:

1. Select Tools-Options
   
2. Select the Program tab
   
3. Set the Minimum step size (mm) to 0 mm (right beside the section Output for Linear movements).

Looks like that was it. Thank you!

Perfect, thank you for letting us know.
