Copy zone breaks the graph of the original zone

Hi,

I have created a simple model that just shows the partition content of a zone. This is all working fine, until I copy the zone in ProcessFlow. I set the new interarrival time a bit slower (300 instead of 30) and you can see all kinds of problems on the chart.

Before copy:

After copy and changing the interarrival time:

This second zone should not have any relation to the chart or the first zone. After saving the model it all seems to work again.

Attached is the model (which is working because it is saved). To reproduce the issue copy block 1 and change the inter arrival time.

Thank you

Patrick

Hi Patrick, this looks like a bug due to the second zone being automatically added to the internal group of the ChartTemplate. You can remove the second zone from the group under this node:

MODEL:/Tools/ChartTemplates/Zone Partition Stats>stats/primaryGroup/primaryGroup

or install the chart and edit that using the toolbox.

We'll create a ticket for this in the issue tracker.
