Default Two suggestions for next version

Hi

I have two suggestions.

1. Calculator:
I wonder if we could have a calculator in the next version. Though there is one with the Window program, but having one within Flexsim or creating a link to the Window calculator might be convenient for user.

2. Print function:
I am also suggesting to have a print function at the code editor, so that user could print the code out.

Thanks

David

You can type expressions such as 3+5, 3*6, pow(2,4) etc. in the Script window and click the Execute to get the answer right away. It is even more convenient than a regular calculator. Looks at the Math section of the command help for the math command reference.

I think this is a handy function which should be included in the code editor. I typically copy the code into Visual Studio and change the file suffix to .cpp so that the code are syntax highlighted. Then print it out. If it can be done within Flexsim, that would be nice and save the hassle.
