Oh well then my suggestion won't be much use.. for a welding robot tool path! Viesturs, I think that you will find that for welding robots a teach pendant is often used to create the tool path... many small moves smoothed and then tweaked into a solution. Most robot "programming" that I have seen is actually pretty crude compared to Gcode moves on a machine tool.
