Custom conveyor dimensions

#1
if i have downloaded a conveyor and i want to increase length and width of that conveyor so how can i do it? Please help.
#2
You should load the 3D model of the conveyor.

Alternatively, you can use an existing conveyor and scale it. You can apply a uniform scale or a per-axis scale by following these steps:
  1. Select Tools-Run Script
  2. Select ScaleXYZ
  3. Enter the scale for each axis.

First of all thank you so much for your reply, but my problem is when i try Scale XYZ method on conveyor then i am getting error python script failed returning 1. (The item identifier provided is not valid or it does not exist.)

But when i tried with any object then it works fine.
#4
It is not possible to apply scaling to the mechanism

You can try the following steps:
  1.  Right-click on your mechanism, then select Modify Robot
  2.  You will see the parts of the conveyor in the station tree, then convert the required part into the object and apply the ScaleXYZ script
  3. Update mechanism

Please refer to the following documentation:

These steps do not work. On the latest robodk, Windows. You can reproduce by downloading a conveyor from the Robot Library (e.g. https://robodk.com/tool/Conveyor-Belt-Wide-2m) and trying to scale it. After clicking "Modify Robot" and converting the model to an Object, trying to run the "ScaleXYZ" script immediately crashes robodk. I tried writing my own script as well and same effect.

I'm unable to make RoboDK crash by following the steps you described. Do you mean that the script fails? Or it crashes RoboDK? The ScaleXYZ requires you to select an object, not a mechanism.

Either way, I recommend you to use the Shape add-in to create conveyors (also known as Components add-in):
