Customizing Queue and Processor Labels/Display Text in FlexSim

[ FlexSim 25.0.4 ]

Hello FlexSim community,

I'm completely new to FlexSim. I have some basic questions on Queue and Processor and I have no idea is there any way to rename or customize the predefined labels that appear on objects?

For example, on my Queue1 object, I'd like to change:

"CurContent" to "Total"
"MaxContent" to "Wait"
"AvgStayTime" to "Run"

Processor1

"Output" to "XXX"
"%Idle" to "XXX"
"%Processing" to "XXX"

I've attached a screenshot showing the current display. Any guidance on how to make these label changes would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You can use the command drawflattext() in the On Draw trigger for this. See aslo Phil's comment in this post.

No need to apologize. I knew the other post exists and it still took me a couple minutes to find it again.
