The Edit Selected Objects --> Copy from Highlighted --> All Variables does not work on Entry and Exit Transfers
Conveyors Transfers copy variables
FlexSim 17.0.0
The Entry and Exit Transfers are seperate objects. They aren't variables.
Sorry, I haven't explained it well: when selecting one or more entry or exit transfers and clicking on another one, so that it is highlighted, then I go to the "Copy from Highlighted" menu and I click, in the section "Copy from Highlighted", on the "All Variables" button (or I just try to copy one variable), nothing is copied to the selected entry/exit transfers.
This happens because some trigger as the transport dispatcher are placed in the localExitType and localEntryType variables.
If you want several entry or exit points to share the same settings, like Send to Port or Transport variables, you should probably create a separate Exit or Entry transfer type and apply that to all of them.
Unfortunately, it seems you cannot change the Transfer Type of all highlighted objects simultaneously, so that is a bit of a one-time action, but having gone through the exercise, you can easily change the properties of all of your transfers by changing them on the type.
Actually changing the type on a entry or exit transfer and copying all variables to selected ones works for changing the transfer type. That's the best way to do it, I know it, it just seemed strange to me that didn't work copying variables on custom types.
