KUKA Robot KRC1046 - <object name> SELECTED, OVERWRITE ?

<object name> SELECTED, OVERWRITE ?

The file currently selected in WorkVisual or the KUKA smartPAD already exists in the project, and the system is prompting for confirmation before overwriting it with new content. This prevents accidental data loss by requiring explicit user authorization.

Common Causes

  • User initiated a save or create operation on a file that shares the same name as an existing project file
  • Attempt to import or load a file from external storage that conflicts with current project naming
  • Batch file processing or scripting operation encounters a pre-existing file with an identical name
  • WorkVisual project contains duplicate file names in different directories with the same logical filename
  • User is attempting to export or backup project data using a filename that matches existing content

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. 1Review the file path and name displayed in the alarm to identify the conflicting existing file
  2. 2Decide whether the existing file should be preserved by selecting NO and choosing a different filename
  3. 3If overwriting is intended, select YES to confirm the operation and replace the old file with new content
  4. 4If preserving both versions is required, cancel the operation and rename the new file before saving
  5. 5Create a backup copy of the existing file before confirming the overwrite operation as an additional safety measure
  6. 6Document the file naming convention and implement it consistently to prevent future naming conflicts in the project
