I would change the entry orientation in an Entry Transfer. Unfortunately the number values are missing in the reference manual.
https://docs.flexsim.com/en/21.1/Reference/PropertiesPanels/ConveyorPanels/EntryTransfer/EntryTransfer.html#entryOrientation

You find them as macros in Flexscript class reference for the orientation property.

https://docs.flexsim.com/en/21.1/Reference/CodingInFlexSim/FlexScriptAPIReference/Conveyor/Conveyor.Item.html#Property-orientation

In earlier Versions the entry orientation was a set of positive or negative characters specifying the orientation. Please look at the section Property Window and Types for comparison:

Hi @Abdelhak SAM, you can add a trigger to a decision point or station that allows you to translate / rotate the item over a specified distance or time.
