Apply Entry Exit instructions to existing objects

[ FlexSim 20.1.2 ]

I've created some custom locations with custom graphics and placed them in the model. Now I'd like to modify the entry and exit behavior of patients and staff. I can select one object in the mode, change the template to custom, set the instructions and it works, but it only modifies it for that one object. Is there a way to change that information for all instances of that custom object or save the custom template and apply it to other objects?

Thanks,

Michael

You can use View > Edit Selected Objects to copy the enterInstructions and exitInstructions variables from one object to other selected objects. In 20.2 and later there is a button that does this next to the Edit Enter/Exit Instructions button.

You could also add your object to a User Library and then drag in more copies of that object. This also allows you to preserve the custom instructions across models, i.e. you can drag one into any model.
