An item cannot rotate by item object properties. An item is on a conveyor a conveyorItem. Conveyors belong to API Class conveyors. Items are visually parts of this Conveyor Class, if they are moved by conveyors. Conveyors are not Fixed Resources. Their inheritance is a module in FlexSim.

If you want to rotate conveyorItems do this from triggers of your conveyor system or by API class Conveyor.Item.

@Murphy,

Your last attempt is exchanging a method by a command. Doing it correctly is an approach of reading, analyzing and not of try and error.

If you cannot adjust the source code of a picklist of a photoeye trigger to rotate an item, then there is nothing else you can do.

If it is just a pure visual reason, you want to rotate the shape of an item, then you can still rotate offset values of the shape.

or an attribute if it accessible already in the tree.
