Draw dashboard in 3D view and record video with flypath

Hello,

I try to draw dashboard in 3D view, and it works! ( "Show State Pie and Statistics in 3D Model?")
But when I use "Video Recorder" to record the video with flypath, it doesn't show any dashboard information in this video. (it can work without flypath)

My purpose is record the video with flypath and show dashboard in 3D model, how could I do?

Thank you in advance

dashboard with flypath.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.1.2

@Phil BoBo My guess is that because the Video Recorder captures from a buffer that isn't being drawn to the screen (sorry I don't know the right terminology) that the onDraw that updates the dashboards doesn't fire. Am I on the right track?

@BensonHuang If my guess is correct, then you just won't be able to use FlexSim's integrated Video Recorder. Instead you'll need to use a 3rd party screen capture utility, like Camtasia, etc.

@BensonHuang

It looks like when the flypath is being run in the "match the flypath time to the model time" mode (which mode is always used when using the Video Recorder), FlexSim is suppressing the draw of any other views, so the dashboard isn't repainting.

I'll add a case to the dev list about this issue.

In the meantime, if you want to run a flypath, render the dashboard, and record the screen, you'll need to run the flypath without the "match the flypath time to the model time" option and use a separate screen capture program as Ben suggested.
