I,m looking on tutorial on how to split existing path to insert an orbit at that point and combine existing paths. Thanks
I don't believe you can insert an Orbit component within an existing Path component that contains waypoints and markers. Maybe there is a way!
What I would do is delete the waypoints from the end of the Path component up to the point where I want the orbit. I then would add an Orbit component, configure it the way I wanted and then add another Path component from there with the desired waypoints and any markers like you deleted.
Agree. Just do the Orbit at end of a path at the location you want then add another path after. Simple enough to do.
Thanks. I had a rather large and complicated mission completed and didn't want to have to redo it but that's what I did. It worked out fine. I guess that's what you get for not doing enough preplanning.
👍🏼😀
It is the strength and flexibility of Dronelink and the component architecture. My typical mission will use combos of Destination, Path, Orbit, List, and Heading components arranged to accomplish my objective.
norman ziegelmeyer I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to get to this earlier, as I might have been able to save you some time.
As David White and Mike (Arizona Wyldwest) noted, there isn't a way to insert, but there is a way to avoid having to recreate things from scratch which I outlined in this video (since it is easier than trying to type it and explain it that way https://screencast-o-matic.com/u/i5Hf/insert-into-path
Hopefully, that will help for future mission creation.
Thanks

Barry Houldsworth, great technique and explanation for preserving a path. I use paths like this initially to look for photo ops along the way. This process will allow me to easily go back and add in heading components, etc, and execute my desired captures without re-doing a lot of pieces.
Thanks All for help, Barry that was an ingenious idea and works beautifully.
Happy to help!
😀👍🏼
Barry. That is another great tutorial video on inserting components into a path. Usually I just remove some waypoints and add the components like Orbit or others since I can usually do it real quick and then add more waypoints after. However, I’m going to copy one of my longer plans with just a path and try adding other components your way. I’m always learning even at my older age. lol.
Thanks….
I would copy the path before deleting any waypoints. Then delete the second half of the waypoints from the original path, and the first half of the waypoints from the copied path.
👍🏼
That's what my short video showed. I don't know if you saw it.
