Pathway and Conveyor Builder

Add Pathway and Conveyor options to Fence and Wall Builder component.
It’s available on 4.9 eCat. it’s a good time to upgrade to 4.9!

Hi @idkfa,

The update to the Fence and Wall Builder is really helpful. However, I don’t see the option in my eCat’s Fence and Wall Builder, or perhaps I am doing something wrong. (I am using Premium 4.9, with Legacy Libraries of 4.7 and 4.8 active)

Is there a tutorial on how to build Pathways or Conveyors?

Great addition! It got me thinking, would it be possible to create something similar for cable ladders? Maybe a 3D sketch or some other approach to indicate where the cable ladder should go from horizontal to vertical?

If it is possible to support the automatic generation of paths and conveyor lines by importing DWG files through CAD, it will greatly improve efficiency

If you don’t see the updates in your eCatalog, try to restart the software (make sure there is Internet connetion while launching the software), and then click the plus sign and Refresh. If the issue persist, please contact support.

Good idea, @andyv, to include cable ladder as a template component.
Also the possibility to define on what plane to draw (XY, XZ, YZ) would be nice feature!

Good idea, @luhan. Do you have a sample file to test this out?

@ahven Thank you very much for your reply! I have provided the test file, where some of the lines are composed of multiple segments,
If we can import and generate precise paths through CAD in the future, it will significantly reduce or eliminate the workload of adjusting paths, as the accurate paths have already been confirmed in CAD

@ahven Hello, will the new features be added to the update plan?

Thank you @luhan for the example file.

Now there is a component in the 4.10 eCatalog, please check this post: Pathway Generator from 2D-Lines
