conveyor dynamic block

[Mike_Taylor]

I am currently creating a series of dynamic blocks in order to create tabletop conveyors fro plat layout. I am using AutoCAD 2009 and am currently having issues making the turning sections. I know this is very simple using AutoCAD 2010 as there are geometric constrains available.

 

The curved sections must be able to have the inside thickness adaptable, the wall thickness must remain 1/2" thick, and the corner sections must have a 30, 45, 60 and 90 degree radii on them (although allowing any angle would be ideal). I was going to use visibility states to achieve the different angles as this seemed the easiest way to do this.

 

Attached is the basic 90 degree corner with an inside width of 4.5" with leaders labeling the areas that must be adaptive.

 

Thanks in advance and sincerely,

And now that the thread holds the right name, see bellow under "Similar threads" if you can get some help from.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was actually able to figure it out myself.

Mike are you still designing conveyor lines? If so i would like to know how you solved your problem and what would i look at and study to design conveyor/assembly lines? Im going to have to do it cause my boss said she needs me to start doing it. Im looking for some advice cause they wont by the Autodesk Factory Design suit.
