There
are
applications
that
require
moving
objects
from
a
common
pick
location
to
an
array
of
placement
locations
(or
vice
of
versa.)
One
way
to
accomplish
this
would
be
to
write
individual
moves
to
every
array
position
followed
by
a
move
to
the
absolute
pick
position.
The
drawback
to
this
approach
is
the
unwieldy
quantity
of
indexes
to
write
if
the
array/matrix
pattern
is
very
large.
The
solution
is
to
use
the
JM-
x
command
which
is
specifically
designed
for
pick
and
place
applications.
