Q connection between mass flow conveyors

Hi everyone!

I have started using mass flow conveyors in FlexSim 22.0.1 and I am struggling with the following problem. The steps to reproduce it are the following:

1) Drag two mass flow conveyors in the 3D model;

2) Join them with a connection "A";

3) Disconnect them using the connection "Q";

Results: the connection is not removed.

Is it a bug or an issue?

As opposed to the issue in your other questions, this is a feature. One might want to create entry/exit transfers without any object they connect to in order to move something onto a conveyor with the "Move Object" activity in a process flow for example.

Hi felix, thank you very much for your answer! I agree with you, but what I meant was not to cancel the entry/exit transfer but just the connection between the two mass flow conveyor using the "Q" connection.

I see. That looks indeed like a bug. Removing the connection by clicking directly on the transfers instead of the conveyors works as normal though.

@ Felix, can you add it to dev list? Otherwise it will never fix in the future release. Thanks!
