Description

Option packages can be installed in WorkVisual. This makes it possible to insert the catalog of theoption package in the individual projects, if required. Theoption package is then available for use in this project.

Advantage: if a project is transferred to a number of robot controllers, the settings relevant to the package only need to be carried out once in WorkVisual and not on each individual robot controller.

On installation, the option package is checked for compatibility and dependencies. If there are conflicts, a message is displayed.
