Import Robot Cell and Import Existing Workspace options for loading pre-configured setups

What It Means​

These options are for bringing in previously set up environments.

  1. "Importing a Robot Cell" would be used if you have a predefined setup, like a robot and its associated equipment, that you've saved from a previous session. It's similar to importing a template into a document – it brings in a set of predefined settings.

  2. "Importing an Existing Workspace" is for when you have a complete project with all the settings, limits, and positions that you've worked on before. It's like opening a complete project file, so you don't have to start from scratch.
