[SimFlex_support]

[ FlexSim 24.2.1 ]

Chapter 6 - Conveyors.fsm

The model is ver. 2021.0. and it is transfered as the core training course.

What is the way of ON/OFF to display the connected port information like captured?

Hi @David Seo ,

You can toggle this on by using the following code:

drawflags(object).value = drawflags(object).value | DRAW_FLAG_CENTER_PORT_NAMES;

Or toggle it off by:
drawflags(object).value = drawflags(object).value & ~DRAW_FLAG_CENTER_PORT_NAMES;

If you don't want the center objects but the inobjects you can use the flag DRAW_FLAG_INOUT_PORT_NAMES

You can toggle on/off the port connections information with the keyboard + mouse short cut of holding 'v' + left click on an Object to display input/output port information and holding 'c' + left click for center port connections.

My question is not detail. Keyboard + mouse short cut of holding ''v' is used only for holding keyboard. The picture is looks like not holding keyboard. They look continuously with/without any keyboard using.

I originally said this may not be working as intended, but that is not correct. The design of the V and C keys in FlexSim is that you can hold down the keys and then click around to different objects to temporarily see each object's connection names.

If you want the names to persist, you need to hold down both the V key (or C key for center connection) and the mouse button together (not just click the mouse), then release the V key, then release the mouse button.
