Hello,
I have a problem with creating a flowitem bin box. We would like to make a mask for our customer which provides a possibility to type in the size of the box. So that the costumer does not have to go into the flowitem and define it themself. Is there any possibility to do that? Something like a small windows with:
Length: (Field)
Width: (Field)
Height: (Field)
Thank you and have a nice day.
@Muhamed K, before you start to build your own window or Dashboard input, you could write a small description how to use the Quick Properties in combination with Flowitem Bin. The design of an input dashboard emulating the flowitem bin is in my opinion advanced stuff. It is possible, but it isn't easy and it isn't done with a few clicks. If you like to get a grip on this, you can open the view tree and look into the active view objects to find the source code of the actions of the open flowitem bin and the quick properties. Then you try to build your own GUI (graphical user interface) by adjusting the code found in the tree before.
Attached is a sample model that uses a Global Table for the input of the size of a box. All you would have to do is change the values in that Global Table to change the size of the box coming out of Source1. In Source1, in the OnCreation trigger, you can set the size of the flowitem by getting the values from the Global Table.
If you have any questions or problems, please let us know.
