When placing a conveyor from the standard library, it places on 36 inches wide. I would like to make it default to 22 inches. I have a conveyor type I've defined in visualizations, but there's no option for width there.
How do I change the default conveyor width?
FlexSim 21.0.6

If you upgrade to the latest version of FlexSim, you can use the Template Panel to configure a set of conveyors to inherit their properties, such as width, from another conveyor.
The Conveyor System automatically adds newly created conveyors to particular groups. In the Conveyor System Properties window, on the Defaults tab, you can check the "First as Template" box in order to automatically add newly created conveyors of that group as a template instance of the first conveyor in that group. Then newly created conveyors will automatically be part of that group and inherit properties from the first conveyor. They will also all automatically adjust when you change properties on the first conveyor.
In addition to conveyors, you can use this feature with any object to set properties on one object and have those properties inherited by other objects.
This feature was added in FlexSim 21.2.
In FlexSim 21.0, you could use Property Tables to modify the width of multiple conveyors at once.
You could change the width and then add the conveyor to a User Library. Then you could place conveyors from that library and they would have your custom width.
Let me know if this helps.
