ImportPoints Statement

Imports a point file into the current project for the specified robot.

Syntax
ImportPoints sourcePath, filename [, robotNumber]

Parameters

sourcePath

The string expression extension representing the specific folder or file you want to import into the current project is “.pts” or “.pnt” (EPSON RC+ 3.x / 4.x format). See ChDisk for the details.

filename

The string expression extension is pts, which represents the specific file you want to import into the current project of the current robot. You cannot specify a file path and fileName doesn’t have any effect from ChDisk. See ChDisk for the details.

robotNumber

An optional expression specifying which robot is associated with the point file. If robotNumber = 0, then the point file is imported as a common point file. If robotNumber is omitted, the current robot number is used.

Description
ImportPoints copies a point file into the current project and adds it to the project files for the specified robot. The point file is then compiled and is ready for loading using the LoadPoints command. If the file already exists for the current robot, it will be overwritten and recompiled.

Potential Errors

• File Does Not Exist

  If sourcePath does not exist, an error will occur.

• A Path Cannot be Specified

  If fileName contains a path, an error will occur.

• Point file for another robot.

  If fileName is a point file for another robot, an error will occur.
