Automatic node connection in intersection of lines

Hi FlexSim team,

This message is to propose the idea of connect a node automatic with an entire line.

Currently, is not possible to connect a node if the line does not finish in that specific point. The idea is, to automate the connection independently if there is a line created before, I mean, be possible the connection in the intesection.

This sounds like it should be an idea/suggestion for which there is a different type of post you can make. You can find the option under the Create button under "Post an idea".

It sounds like inserting a network node along a path would get you most of the way towards your goal. That's something that can be scripted if you have the skills and can't wait for its development.

Hi Jason,

This sounds good, but I am not a script expert, could you help me with an example model.

Thank you,

I've posted an example in your idea thread here.
