Is it somehow possible to "assign" or lock object in model together?

Hi,

I would like to ask if it is somehow possible to "assign" or lock object in model together to avoid moving one object from the right place? I can use this feature in process flow, where I am able for example lock 'Text' to another object in the ProcessFlow and when I drag the object in automatically moves with the 'Text'.

If your problem is that you sometimes accidentally move a path (I do it all the time!), you can make the paths ignore your mouse by making them "Clickable Only" or "Not Clickable". This is a setting in the AGV Network Properties, General tab, and is easily changed back to "Full Manipulation" when you need to do some editing.

Make sure you hit "Apply" or "OK" before going back to the 3D window, or your changes will not take effect.

Hi

It depends if it is some object participating in the process, e.g. a buffer at the machine, or just some decoration?

I meant only decorations (Racks etc.). I searched for any information and I found that if I set flag protected by these objects it will make what I want. So this might work and it all depends only on the first initialization when I need to set up these object on the proper place with the proper coordinates.

But only problem I found is that this does not work with AGV paths and that is where I need it the most. It often happens to me that a drag and move one path to another place and than the process does not work.

So I would like to ask, if you can help me with this one?

Thanks

You can toggle protect using Edit Selected Objetcs from View Menu.
