Conveyor types do not get added to the User Library automatically when you add a conveyor. There does not seem to be a way to add them to the library either.

This feature has been added in the 18.2 beta that is now available for download.
I'll add a case to the development list for this.
Please add the ability to add photoeye types and decision point types to the library too.
Then please also add to the conveyor type definition, autoconstructors/configurators for decision points and photoeyes where you select the type and position for each decision point or photoeye. Also add the default length for the conveyor type.
Lastly, add the option for an icon representing the conveyor type to be added to the user library for drag and drop into the model (and thereby firing the autoconstructor/configurators for photoeyes and decision points, and setting the length if defined)
Has there been an update to this Phil? Also when I add custom conveyors through code (create instance) sometimes the object doesn't render. Thanks!screen-shot-2019-05-01-at-31314-pm.png
Yes, this feature was added in version 18.2. Any version after that will work too.
Please post your screenshot as a separate question and not as a comment on a mostly unrelated question.
