Default Userlibrary

hi,

Can you save a set of objects (for example source, queue and processor) in a userlibrary as a single object, so that when you drag off the object to the view that the entire set?


Thank's.

Hi Juan,

There are 2 ways that I can think of now. The easiest is by simply using a visual tool. So you drag in a visual tool, drop the source, queue and processor on the visual tool, and save the visual tool in the user library.

The other is by using a dropscript. This is a piece of code that you can drag from the library and then create those objects via flexscript. The user manual explains quite well how that can be done.

The user library can do a lot of things on it's own. Maybe it's useful for you.

Quote from Flexsim help - Creating Custom Libraries:
Quote:
There is a specific set of folder names that are valid in using the automatic install mechanism. They are listed as follows.

newmodelinstall: This folder is installed when the user creates a new model. It is also installed when the library is loaded.
startupinstall: This folder is installed when the library is loaded if the user has designated this library as a library to load during startup.
loadinstall: This folder is installed when the library is loaded explicitly by the user.
openmodelinstall: This folder is installed when the user opens an existing model. You may use this folder to check is the model contains the library's components, and if not, install them. You could also use it to update components in the model if those components are from an earlier version of the user library.
