Transform statement to contour Creates a new contour and moves the selected motion statements into the newly created open contour.
Transform to point contour / Transform to several point contours Creates new point contours for each selected motion statement and moves the selected statements into their respective contours.
Dissolve contour Dissolves the selected contours and moves their contained motion statements to the parent element.
Transform path to contour Converts the selected path into a contour.

1:1 Path Planning [Sequence] Performs collision-free path planning between the two selected points or the sequence of selected points.
1:1 Path Planning [+reverse] [from Punkt] Starts the calculation for each sequence, beginning at the first selected point, proceeding to the next selected point in the selection, and then back again. If more than two points are selected, the route is planned from the first selected point to each of the other selected points and back.
Repeat request Repeat path planning for the selected sequence using the current settings.
Reverse request Repeats path planning for the selected sequence using the current settings. The path is calculated in the reverse direction, from the destination to the starting point.
Dissolve path planning statement Dissolves the selected path planning statements and moves their contained motion statements to the parent element.
