I would like to have the source finish a batch of parts and then switch to a different part type (change the 3D shape). Is there an easy way to accomplish this?
My program for reference -
Changing the 3D shape once a batch is finished
Choose One
You can do this in Process Flow. What are you batching, and where does the batch arrive at? How many in a batch? What does it change to? Does the finished product change or does the new product change?
1) Source creates a batch of 300 parts of part type 1, a cylinder.
2) Each part is processed (changes color) and sent away.
3) Once all 300 parts have been processed, source begins creating next part type (different 3D shape, possibly a box).
4) Source creates 250 parts of part type 2....
This continues through 6 different part types and a different quantity of each part type is needed. What I need help on is changing the 3D shape of each part when the source creates it.
These aren't the correct shapes, but it should give you an idea of how to accomplish it. Instead of a source, I have a scheduled source creating tokens with a label, and then a create object task that creates an object that corresponds to the label.
