Change the prefix "Waypoint_" when teaching new positions

[janik.schneeberger]

Is there a way to change the “Waypoint_” prefix to different characters? Currently when adding a new waypoint on the teach pendant, the auto-generated name is “Waypoint_1”, “Waypoint_2”, etc. where the index automatically increments. We would like to change this to “P1”, “P2”, “P3”, etc. still having auto-incrementing indexes but with “P” as prefix.

Thanks.

It’s not possible. You can work around it by adding “Waypoint_xx” and then doing global rename on uncompressed urp program file.

This was one of the very first things I noticed while setting up my UR. Just adding it to the Move parameters would make it so much better.

I made this thread but it didn’t get any traction:

Add waypoint name parameter to Move Command tab

Summary Add a parameter to the Mov command tabs to populate a base name for waypoints added. What is it? When waypoints are added to a move, they are given the default name of Waypoint [i]. Add a parameter to the parent MOV command tab to set [Waypoint] to something different, thereby naming all of the waypoints added instead of having to edit every one. Why is it needed? As seen below, the default Waypoint [i] naming convention has given me a list of dozens of waypoint names that are meaning…

Looks like good idea.
Maybe there even is a URCap doing something similar.
