Is there a tool to build FlexSim conveyor object directly from CAD .DGW file?

Is there a tool or method that we can import CAD drawing (.dwg) object directly into FlexSim, mainly conveyor object? I appreciate any advice for this automating build object from CAD.

Hey Sung Kim, sorry to take some time to get back to you. There isn't necessarily an automated tool that will create Conveyors based on the CAD drawing. (This information would be difficult to anticipate or parse from FlexSim's perspective.) However you can utilize the "snap points" feature. When importing a CAD drawing, there's a checkbox option to activate or read the snap points of your cad drawing. Then having these points as a reference in code or FlexScript, you might be able to use a loop of some kind to loop through your snap points and draw the conveyors via this method.
