Setting "preferred orientation" or "teach" button using python api-kreys-05-12-2022
I'm running into an issue where we have to "teach" the preferred tool x axis orientation otherwise we have some issues later down the line. Is there an easy way to automate this "clicking" of the teach button by python api?
I have a script with a for loop that updates some other basic items for all of the programs that id like to use for this teach.

Yes, you can provoke theTeachbutton in a robot machining project using the API.
This example shows how to do it:
Code:
from robolink import *
RDK = Robolink()
# Choose your robot machining project:
pathsettings = RDK.ItemUserPick("Choose a robot machining toolpath", ITEM_TYPE_MACHINING)
# Provoke the Teach action:
pathsettings.setParam("Orient", "Teach")
