PE on a conveyor in a plane

Hi,

I created a complex machine with a plane which contains conveyors and processor. I discovered that if I rotate the plane, the conveyor system doesn't draw correctly the conveyor objects (PE, DP, station) inside the plane.

I attached a very simple model which reproduces my case.

Can you fix it in the next release?

NOTE: I believe that it is only a visual issue because the events trigger correctly (I tested with the photo eye and it works).

Software Version:

FlexSim 16.2.0

This has already been fixed in 16.2.0 and 16.0.5.

Move the photoeye a little bit, and then it will draw correctly.

Or execute the following script:

function_s(photoEye,"finalizeSpatialChanges")

Did you build this model in a version prior to 16.2 or 16.0.5?

Thanks phil!

The command works in the attached model because it is built with 16.2. But my machine is built with flexsim 7.7 and the command doesn't work. Do I change the photoeyes with the last version or there is an other command to use?

This bug is still in 7.7. If you want them to draw correctly, you need to use 16.2 or 16.0.5.

I'm testing the model with the machine in Flexsim 16.1.2 and the command doesn't work. Does it work only in 16.2?

Yes. 16.2.0 or 16.0.5.
