Video Tutorials

All,

This thread will be the location for any video tutorials that I (and anyone else who feels inclined) create.

With that in mind here are the first two!

This video will walk you through how to create flowitems on reset:


This video will show you how to edit the item type, labels, and color of the items created in the last video:


Good Luck,

All,

Just an little hint: You'll notice a differene in some of the videos because they have the black bars on the top and bottom when they are embedded in the forum like the ones I have posted. The videos with the bars are high-def (1280x720) videos and the ones without the bars are low-def (640x480). I would suggest watching the high-def videos at youtube instead of as embedded on the forum.

Here is a quick overview of an alternative to using triggers to create flowitems on reset:


I have attached the model used in this video.

Good Luck,
Brandon

These are great Brandon.

It's pity that I cannot see the video, because the government of PRC have blocked Youtube.

I work at a place that also blocks YouTube videos. Can you put the original video on your own servers and provide a link that I could right-click and Save As...? That usually provides a better alternative for those of us who have blocked streaming video. Thanks.

All,

I have added all three videos to the downloads section. They are the originals so they are a little better quality than what you get on Youtube.

This video will walk you through the process of getting a dwg file exported to a dxf file that will work well in Flexsim.



This video is also located in the downloads section if you can not view Youtube videos.

Brandon how do you create these tutorials ?

Thanks
Maurizio

All of the above tutorials have been created with Camtasia Studio. Camtasia is a screen capturing software that allows you to go through the whole process in only one software. It is a tad expensive but it works well for me. Here is the link to their website: http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.asp
You can download the trial which allows you to use the software with no limitations for 30 days.

Good Luck,
Brandon
