Single Icon Display In User Library For Objects With PF - Droppath

[ FlexSim 23.1.3 ]

Hi,

If the user library has an object PF, while saving it in the user library they are displayed as individual objects in the user library. Ideally, it should be displayed as a single icon in the user library.

So to include the objects in a single icon. I have created a drop path attribute and added them to the user library. Even after adding the drop path the object pf is not getting added to the object which is drag-dropped into the FlexSim model. How to fix this?

Attaching the userlibrary for reference.

Regards,

Arun KRCustomLib.fsl

Just put the process flow in an attribute of the library as a folder so it's hidden. No need for custom drop scripts etc.

Thanks process flow works fine but while adding the conveyor visuals an exception is thrown. How to fix this?

I would place the hide folder in the attribute part of the library object - not in the part that gets displayed in the grid.

In this case I think the conveyor in the plane was not pointing to the visualization type.

Fix attached.
