This post helps clarify what happens when you insert and/or move targets in a Surface Trajectory

If you insert (by using Insert a point before/after selected point) and move a green (process) target within the context of Surface Trajectory creation, then a blue padlock will appear on it to show that a User has created/modified the target that has been drawn after the computation of the Surface Trajectory

• If you then modify the Stroke Spacing, then you are forcing the Surface Trajectory to recompute and you will lose the inserted/modified (locked) targets
  • This message will get displayed:

• If you modify the Stroke Sampling | Sag value, you will NOT lose your inserted/modified (locked) targets.

If you copy and paste a green (process) target by selecting the tag from the Spec Tree and using the context menu, the tag is NOT added as a target in the Surface Trajectory and is NOT locked.

It is not possible to copy a tag within the context of Surface Trajectory

When in Teach

• You can use the context menu to Copy the Robot Motion (PaintOperation.[x])
• Then move the target of the copied Robot Motion with the Robot Manipulator
• Then select Modify Current Target?

You can copy/paste and move a Tag from the Spec Tree into the Surface Trajectory and then create a Surface Task that will include a Robot Motion (PaintOperation.[x])
