Conveyor entry /exit transfer generic code?

Hi Team,

I would like to know if there is any generic code available to get entry/exit transfer of conveyor. It will speed up the process using copy/paste from one conveyor to another conveyor object of same type.

For example: We can get any in object reference using current.inObjects[1].

Thank you!

I've already sent in a request to be able to find references to conveyors from conveyor transfer objects using a supported api/class/method strucure.

At the moment you need look through the conveyorPoints and determine which points your might be interested in - the conveyorPoints includes references to decisionPoints, photoeyes, stations, inline and side transfers and transfers to fixed resources.

This code finds transfers to fixed resources:

Object conv=Model.find("StraightConveyor1");
Array transfers=[];
Object frTransfer=library().find("?FRTransfer");
Object o;
forobjectlayerunder(getvarnode(conv,"conveyorPoints")){
    o=node("+/~",a);
    if (classobject(classobject(o))==frTransfer)
        transfers.push(o);
}
return transfers;
