Object Frame Profile Dialog Box

Name

You can enter a name for the profile, or accept the default name provided. The name specified appears in the tree and on all menu options.

By default, the naming convention is Object.number, where number minus one equals the number of existing object profiles.

Index

Many robot controllers refer to the profile by an index number that acts as an identifier. Index provides a neutral naming convention for all controllers and is used by apps such as Robot Programming and Realistic Robot Simulation to identify the profile.

You can enter a positive integer value or zero as an index number for the current profile. When left unset, Robot Programming and Realistic Robot Simulation will parse the name of the profile to obtain an index.

By default, this value is unset.
