Question Editing Frames

I get a "unhandled exception" error whenever I try to edit frames. I am using a six with claw robot. I can see all the servos in the settings but error occurs when I select any frame to edit. I can see servo positions for all legs but no claw servos. The actions I already had such as arm up/arm down still work but I can't edit or add new frames involving the claw. Tried rebooting and updating windows 8, no luck

I did recently reformat PC and fresh install of ez robot, then loaded robot from EZ cloud. I also added many actions from the regular six robot to my six with claw using import/export function and I suspect this is where the error occurred. Any suggestions?

The importation itself was OK and the robot movements all work well....I can just never change it because I get the error message when I select the frame. I made it as far as trying to edit the autopositon file. I could see the frames looking for the extra servos and thought maybe I could try to add them manually....using notepad? It was all I had to work with:) At that point I realized that I was in over my head and figured it would be better to just add new frames/actions for six with claw. It is just that so much of the work was already done for the six, like the dance actions, I would hate to manually add everything for six with claw. I'm probably just getting way ahead of myself....again.

Nah not at all - you're on the right track. Just load the default six project and edit the auto position. Add the servos for the arm and voila:)

It'll be quite easy. Just add servos, drag them on the screen and select the ports.

If you need help, after you attempt on your own, let me know:)

Aha! I followed your advice and I was getting the same error after many times trying to import/export between projects. Finally I realized that although I added servos in the design I had not clicked the "snapshot" button. I guess I should have clicked the question mark earlier...the one that explains that that was how AutoPosition was updated, I thought it was just to update the picture. All seems to be working now, Thanks!:)
