I have a project where I just want to translate a program (ABB - .modx ---> FANUC - .LS). I downloaded the free version of Robodk and tried to 'drag and drop' or even File->Open the .modx but it says it is an unsupported file type. 

From what I have seen, .modx is the newer gen of ABB file type. Anyone have a workaround? I currently do not have ABB's robotstudio software to try and rework the program type.

You can rename the MODX file to MOD and RoboDK will attempt to load it. Make sure to load your ABB robot first.

There are minor differences between MOD and MODX but it should be enough to extract relevant program instructions such as the movement instructions. We'll include MODX as a supported file type for importing program files.

Once you have the movements imported in RoboDK you can export them to a Fanuc controller as LS files.

If you need better customization you could also customize the import process using the API. This example shows how to load a KUKA SRC file:

I have imported it and then converted it to a FANUC but I do not see any movements included. How do I make sure the movements and targets are moved over.

Another side note: It also gives me an error of importing code larger than 50 lines. Do I have to get a full license? Cost?

Can you provide us the MODX file? What robot was it created for? We can better take a look.

You may need the professional license to remove any limitations generating programs, you can find more information here:
