KUKA iiQWorks: Manipulation Modes: Select, Move, PlugAndPlay (PnP) and Interact, Object Positioning

In this beginner-friendly tutorial, you will learn how to use the different manipulation modes in iiQWorks.Sim to efficiently select, move, align, and interact with objects in your simulation. The video walks you step by step through Selection, Move, Plug-and-Play (PnP), and Interact modes, helping you understand how to position components precisely in a 3D environment. You will also explore snapping, alignment tools, and advanced positioning techniques to improve accuracy in your virtual setup. By mastering these tools, you can build and validate realistic robot applications that behave just like they would on a real system.
