The Location Management frame displays when the robot position is expressed in World
coordinates. A Location must be set in this frame before you enable the Jog To mode.
The Precision Point Management frame displays when the robot position is expressed in Joint

Location Management
The Location Management frame allows you to either manually set the values of a transform, or get
