Change item's type in a python script-Camille-04-26-2021
Hi,
Is it possible to change an item's type in a python script ?
I have a tool I am importing with SolidWorks plugin and when I drag and drop it to my robot its type is changed from object to tool, but when I import it and set its parent as a robot with a script, its type stays object.
What can I do to change its type at the same time I change its parent ?
Thanks,
Camille

Hi Jeremy,
I considered this option but the application I have requires the user to import a tool, a part and a curve from SolidWorks right now.
So I would prefer to avoid using two different importing settings for the user.
If there is no other choice, I will use this way, but I wanted to check before.
Thanks,
Camille

嗨Camille,
Can you update RDK to the latest version, I think that with the newest version the object should automatically become a tool when you set a robot as a parent. Can you confirm?
Otherwise, we will look into it.

Unfortunately it did not work.

Hi Jeremy,
I think I figured it out, I used this line instead :
Code:
objet = robot.AddTool(nPose,nomObjet)
and it looks like it worked !
