Set Slot Stacking Order Rack using FlexScript

[ FlexSim 21.2.0 ]

Hi! I want to make an easy dashboard to create array of rack. However, I have some difficulties in setting the rack properties, since I want to make the rack multi-deep. One of which is to set the Slot Stacking Order property. How can I set it using FlexScript? Thank you.

The slot stacking order is represented by the "stackingAxis1-3" nodes in the racks variables.

These can be set using "object.setProperty("SlotStackingAxis1", value)". Possible values are the numbers 1-6 which represent the directions as follows: X+, X-, Y+, Y-, Z+, Z-

Thank you for your help! This would help me to set other properties. One more question, why is the setProperty first argument is "SlotStackingAxis1" and not "stackingAxis1" ?

[moehlmann_fe]

When switching from the now deprecated "setVariable()" to "setProperty()" the developers chose to use different arguments rather than the node names. I can't say for certain why, possibly to be closer to the actual name that appears in the properties (for example the process time of the processor is now called "ProcessTime" instead of the previous "cycletime").

Generally, all available properties should be listed in the reference section of the user manual.
