6.7.2 Creating a work object
What happens when I create a work object?
A variable of the type wobjdata is created. The variable's name will be the name
of the work object. For more information on data types, see Technical reference
manual - RAPID Instructions, Functions and Data types.
This is detailed in section
Creating a work object
The work object's coordinate system is now identical with the world coordinate
system.
To define the position and orientation of the work object's coordinate system, see

Recommendation
Work objects are automatic-
ally named wobj followed by
a running number, for ex-
ample wobj10, wobj27.
You should change this to
something more descriptive.
If you change the name of a
work object after it is refer-
enced in any program you
must also change all occur-
rences of that work object.
Work objects should always
be global to be available to all
modules in the program.
Work object variables must
always be persistent.
