What is the easiest way to do Copying or Tiling in RoboDK, or should I just continue to duplicate in inventor like I have been, for my welding parts?
Thank you
Clint

The best method depends on the specific task itself. By the way, the Inventor plug-in should be useful:

Yup, ty
I've been using it.

By copying or tiling do you mean you would like to automatically create an array of parts and replicate your welding tool-path in multiple locations?

Yes!

In this case you can automate this using the RoboDK API.
For example, a sample script in Python would look like this:
Code:
part = RDK.Item("Part with curves", ITEM_TYPE_OBJECT)
# Create a copy
part.Copy()
# Add a new coordinate system
new_frame = RDK.AddFrame("New reference")
new_frame.setPose(transl(100,200,300)) # Set the coordinates of the reference frame
# Create a copy of your part in the new coordinate system
new_part = RDK.Paste(new_frame)
# new_part.setParent(new_frame) # done by Paste
# Create a curve follow project for your part. This is automatically done but the part needs to have curves (or points for a point follow project)
cfp = RDK.AddMachiningProject("New curve follow project")
cfp.setMachiningParameters(part=new_part)
