classes in flexsim

Hi all,

I want to know if i can create my own classes in flexsim.

f.i: I have a lot of racks in my model and all of them have the same atributtes and I want to change one of the atributtes in all racks.


Thanks a lot.

Think this isn´t exactly what you are looking for, but you can select and highlight objects in Flexsim (red / yellow box around the object). With the option "edit selected/highlighted objects" it´s possible to change attributes of all highlighted objects. Highlighting can be done by clicking on objects while holding down Crtl Button.

It doesn't work or explain it with more details. I've tried this in my model. I have 4 racks and I wanted add a label in one of them and then it appears in the other racks , but it doesn't work.

Any idea?

Have you tried using the user library? You create 1 rack that is completely as you want. You create a new user library and right click on the object (I think it is edit -> add to user library) and add the object to the library. Then save your user library and there you have some kind of a new object that you can use.

@ Steven
Or even duplicate the one Rack!?

@Juan
Think it has to work with select (red box) all racks, that should get the label and highlight (yellow box) the rack, that got the labels.
Open the "Edit selected Objects" view from the "Modelling Utilities". In this view you have to pick the option "Copy from Highlighted". And there it is the third or fourth option.
Does this work?
