On the other hand, if you want to use it for programming, you should add a tool (TCP) with or without a 3D geometry. This tool should be directly attached to the robot item. Tool geometries are static and can't be moved like mechanisms do.
Not sure what you mean I'm very new to RoboDK and I am doing the tutorials on YouTube to learn.
Maybe I wasn't clear in my post as I am not familiar with how the 3d files are created so they are imported as a robot, tool or object but when I download the file for the RobotiQ Hand-E gripper the file type is RoboDK Robot but if I download the RobotiQ Sanding kit the file type is RoboDK Tool. So when I am inside RoboDK and I select the button for adding a tool to my robot RobotiQ Hand-E gripper does not appear like the Sanding kit does.
