Belt Properties
Displays the Conveyor Belt Properties Dialog, in which you can view properties for the conveyor belt.
Select Coordinate System
Specifies an existing plant coordinate system to associate with the conveyor belt. The coordinate system must have, at a minimum, one Y plane at the origin.
Select 2 points to place Coordinate system
Defines a new coordinate system by selecting two points in the graphic view. The first point defines the origin, and the second point defines the direction of the positive E-axis (the Y-axis). The software defines the EL-axis (the Z-axis) as up.
The direction of the belt is along the positive E-axis. The software creates the coordinate system BeltCS with one Y plane at the origin.
Sketch Belt in 3D
Allows you to layout the belt profile directly in the 3D model by selecting a geometric construction and defining the belt parameters. This option opens the Belt Path Palette Dialog and the Geometric Construction Explorer.
Finish
Places the conveyor belt.
Select Parent
Specifies the parent system for the conveyor belt. Click More to display the Select System dialog.
Belt Designation
Specifies the material, default width, and default thickness of the belt. The software delivers the following belt designations:
ST1250_NN_600X6
ST1250 nylon belt with a 600mm default width and a 6mm default thickness.
ST1251_EP_800X8
ST1251 elastopolymer belt with an 800mm default width and an 8mm default thickness.
ST1252_PU_1000X10
ST1252 polyurethane belt with a 1000mm default width and a 10mm default thickness.
ST1253_ST_1200X12
ST1253 steel cord belt with a 1200mm default width and a 12mm default thickness.
All belt designations have a 3mm top cover thickness and a 2mm bottom cover thickness.
Belt Width
Specifies the width of the conveyor belt. You can change the default value.
Belt Thickness
Specifies the thickness of the conveyor belt. You can change the default value.
Name
Specifies the name of the conveyor belt.
Continue
Places a coordinate system defined with Select 2 points to place Coordinate system . This option is only available when creating a new belt.
Convert to 2D
Converts the belt to a belt with a Sketch 2D belt profile. After converting, you can modify the belt using Place Conveyor Belt Command , providing more flexibility than Quick Layout . Convert to 2D is only available when modifying a belt.
