Copy a single label from a highlighted object.

[ FlexSim 16.1.0 ]

Is a way to copy a particular label using "copy from highlighted" option.

Although I can assert/set a label on all the objects during simulation run, but I want to define the label by default. Is there a quick way to achieve this ?

If you want that feature for new objects you are placing per drag and drop from the Library, open a tree, in the quick properties under Tree Navigation switch to main, enhance the Library trunk, high light the FlexsimObject and add the desired Label in the Quick Properties to the FlexsimObject. Any object you drag and drop out of the Library has got now that label and the value you set. That is not persistent in the Flexsim Engine for the Objects in Library if you start Flexsim again even if you load a model. But the Obejcts in the model contain the labels after you load the model again.

To expand on @Jörg Vogel's answer, to include a label automatically as part of a newly-dragged-from-the-library object, you need to edit its definition in the library. However, as he mentions, this will not persist once FlexSim is closed - you will need to edit the library object again each time you open FlexSim.

One alternative is to create your own Custom User Library of pre-labeled objects. Your library can load automatically when FlexSim starts, and you can drag items from your own library just the same as if from the default library. The benefit of using your own Custom User Library in this way is that it can persist across FlexSim instances.

Using that same Global Preferences Libraries interface, you could even choose to show your Custom Library and hide the defaults.
