Hello! We would like the possibility to change the active TCP from the selection of TCPs, without setting it as default or changing the values of the TCP. Background: If an operator or programmer would like to create a program with several different TCPs, while checking or setting up the program,…

Here’s the CAP @anon507564 . Just install it like any other. TCPhelper-1.0.0.urcap (30.2 KB) [image] Looks like this. You hit the UR+ button along the top, and click the TCP one (if you have multiple CAPs that contribute toolbars). Just tap the dropdown and a list of your TCPs should show up. Pi…

How do you suggest handling these situations until you implement this feature?

You can use the test button on the set node [image]

I think this would be even more valuable when the selected tcp is automatically configured when using the move tab in a waypoint creation case and inserted dircetly into the waypoint node config. This way, The user does not have to use the setnode for the tcp while programming any more.

Hi Ebbe, yes, this is the way, how we have to make it. But seriously, if you are an UR programmer or technician, it is very annoying to adjust robot poses this way. I think, this is not so hard, to implement this action you showed us on the picture into the “select menu” element under “feature sele…

The button itself is not the hard thing. But the Move screen is also used for assigning poses. Where the TCP might be explicit selected. So there is several scenarios to consider. Ebbe

This would be extremely helpful doing setups (I do a lot of setups) Please also consider updating the active TCP in the Move tab as the program is running. As it is now when you start a program and change to the Move tab the Active TCP does not update if the TCP updates in the program. …

Yes, Yes, Yes! This lack of feature drives me mad when doing a setup. Having to keep setting a TCP to default is really annoying and time consuming.

This request is coming up on 2 years old, @Ebbe . How’s it going? What sucks @m.hammerton is that when I’m trying to change something in the program but have the wrong TCP set, I have to go dig around in the program to find a Set command that puts it where I want it, then I have to dig around in th…

I can add this pretty trivially into a CAP I think, provided there’s some script that does this. [image] I got really lazy scrolling around in my program for various “Perch” positions and things, so I wrote a CAP to store positions into the Toolbar so I can just Jog to them easily. Then I added a…
