Get all control points on path that AGV is going to travel

First question
The AGV path is very complicated. How do I know which shortest path the Flexsim system chooses?

Second question
Is there any other way for the AGV route to know all the control points?

My known method

2. The variable Patnpoint on the AGV pet stores ControlPoint information at this location

It appears that you've already found the answer to your first question. To supplement that just a little bit: I don't think AGV's calculate their paths to be optimized based on length. In other words, I think they just find a path that works and then execute that path. The A* Navigator, however, runs an algorithm that calculates the shortest path between objects. Hopefully this helps clarify that.

As for the second question, the method you're using is the only way as far as I know. This isn't something that developers have made readily available because it's likely not something that matters to most users. Could you explain why you're looking for this information?

@tanner.p , @steven.chen, perhaps the AGV module navigator uses the same navigation algorithm as the network navigator. @phil.bobo describe this at which path to take...
