Hidden robot selected

Error ID: 3001
Platform: Process Simulate

This sanity check informs the user that some robots referenced in the selected operations are currently hidden in the scene. Despite being invisible, these robots and their operations will be included in the export. This is informational only and does not block the export.

What this error means​

  • Severity: Warning
  • Blocking behaviour: informational_only
  • Dialog type: Warning - Informational only (OnlyWarning)
  • The message indicates that Resolver found an issue with the current Process Simulate setup and is warning you before continuing with the export/import workflow.

Dialog text shown in Resolver​

Robot: {robotName}
is hidden and used in:

{operationName1}
{operationName2}

The hidden robot will be exported with their operations.

How to fix it (step-by-step)​

  1. Carefully read the dialog text shown above and note any robots, operations, objects, or settings that are mentioned.
  2. In Process Simulate, inspect the affected station or operation and verify that the setup matches the expectations described in the message (for example: targets, robots, kinematics, collision sets, RCS configuration, export options, cloud settings, etc.).
  3. If this message is informational or a warning, you may be able to continue, but it is recommended to fix the underlying issue early to avoid problems later in the workflow.
  4. Save your changes in Process Simulate and run the Resolver import/export again.
  5. Confirm that the message no longer appears, or that it now reflects the updated configuration correctly.

When is it safe to ignore this warning?​

You may choose to continue without fixing this issue when:

  • you are running a quick test or proof-of-concept,
  • the affected configuration does not impact the robots or operations you care about,
  • you fully understand the implications described in the dialog.

For production use, it is strongly recommended to resolve the cause of the warning rather than ignoring it.
