Batch connection changes

Hi,

Another batch problem here,

i have 1000 conveyor A : A0001.....A1000
which already connectioned to 1000 combiner B : B0001....B1000

as I would like to connect a source from C as the container to the combiner B

As i use batch connection in connection GUI, the added connections would be set as the last input port of B, which means C would be the content but but container....

Is there is fast way to batch connect a item to be the 1st port of the target? thanks.

Regards,
Kelvin

One way could be to delete all the existing connections and first do the Source connections and redo all the other connections. Quite some work, I would think.

I would do the Source connections as you described. Now they should all be the last Input Connection on the Combiners.
Select all combiners (red box for selected objects).
Now run the following code in a script window:
// FOR ALL SELECTED (RED) OBJECTS IN MODEL
forobjecttreeunder(model())
{
// IF OBJECT IS SELECTED AND IF IT IS AN OBJECT
if(and(switch_selected(a,-1), getdatatype(a) == 4))
{
// POINTER TO INPUT CONNECTIONS
treenode Connectionsin = node(">connections/connectionsin",a);
// SET RANK OF LAST INPUT CONNETION TO ONE
setrank(last(Connectionsin),1);
}
}

This will switch the position of the last input port to the first input port of all selected objects.

Kelvin,

If you have n objects that all need to be connected the exact same way. You can connect the first object up correctly and then use the duplicate connections in the connection GUI to set the connections for the remaining objects.

Good Luck,
Brandon
