This procedure describes how to
import a robot selected in a robot library into a V5 document. |
 |
The steps in this procedure are illustrated
using the file
BodySide_1.CATProcess.
In addition, the ABB robot IRB 6400_24_1.50.CATProduct was imported
using the robot catalog. You can open the file and load this robot
to follow along with the instructions contained in this procedure.
To use the catalogs, you must have access to a library. Possible
sources of libraries include:
- the Standard Robot Library product (which is an add-on to this
product's configurations)
- another custom-developed robot library
- a device library.

Depending on your previous use of the catalog browser, you may
see a catalog browser like that shown below (which shows robot
brands) or one like that shown in Step 2 (which shows types of

In the right side of the catalog browser, click the
desired robot, and then move the mouse to the applications 3D geometry
view.

Move the mouse to the place where you want the robot
placed, and click.
| After the robot has been imported, it appears in the
Resource List of the PPR tree: |
