As I said in the question, I want to move multiple objects (conveyors, AGVs, etc.) in total along the X or Y axis by the amount I want.
Is there a way to select multiple objects using Shift + Drag and then move them by entering numeric values instead of moving the mouse?
You can move all of the object into a plane (from the "Edit Selected Objects" window found under "View") and then move that plane by changing its coordinates.
Or you add all of the objects to a group and adjust their position in code by looping though the group and incrementing the coordinates of each object.

Where is the option to input numbers in "Edit Selected Objects"?
I was able to find "Rotate" and "Flip", but I can't find Move.

I'm new to Flexsim, where should I write the code and what code should I put in it?
I found the following code in the help, how do I change it?
Group queues = Group("Queues");for (int i = 1; i <= queues.length; i++) queues[i].setProperty("MaxContent", 5);
You use the "Edit Selected Objects" window to move the selected items into a plane. (Have the plane selected (yellow outline), then the "Move into Model" button at the top will change to "Move into highlighted"). Then you move the plane as normal through the properties window.
The code could look like below:
Group objects = Group("Group1");
Vec3 offsetVector = Vec3(1, 1, 0);
for(int i = 1; i <= objects.length; i++)
{
objects[i].location += offsetVector;
}
Thank you so much for your answer.
I have one last question.
If I work with "Edit Selected Objects", all objects are assigned to "Plane". Is there a good way to unassign this?
When I delete "Plane" and try to draw it again, I get this error message.
