How to copy from highlighted?

I'd like to change processor shape by copyng from one fixed processor. But I couldn't succeed making it everytime. Anyone could tell what mistake did I make?

There are 5 processors already become orange in video, their shapes are changed by using the video method.

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.2.0

copy trigger from highlighted object

copy-from-highlighted.mp4 (10.9 MiB)

Hi @Fiona C,

With the items you selected by opening their group, is the option "Show 3D Shape" still checked? It seems like it might not be since they appear to be invisible. Other than that, your method should work totally fine.

@Ryan Clark I've checked their "show 3D shape" is checked. But is the shape factors of the object that is used to copying from affect the copy from hightlighted operation? Because I have changed the processor appearance into the orange one in the picture.

And I could only success copying once I open the animation page of every processors that haven't been changed at first, then I do it like the video to complete all changes.

@Fiona C, the shape factor may have some effect, but I'm not sure. Since you accepted my answer, were you able to solve your problem?

Hi@Ryan Clark I’ve test several time. Actually I only successed copying from the shape I want by clicking on the animations page of the Processors that haven’t been changed, then I do the way like the video, the copy could work.

I don’t have to change shape factor one by one, But I still have to do copy from highlighted for many times. How many processors there are, i will have to do how many times.

I’d also would like to make sure one problem, does it have number of Tiggers used limitations? I asked this question because I copied All Triggers from one processor or queue. And I have on entry, on exit and on processfinish in a processor, when copy from hightlighted, I chose copying “All” directly, then in the properties panel of the processor copying from highlighted, there only show on entry triggers. I feel that it does copy all triggers functions successfully, because it writes to global table as I want, but anyway it’s hard to check if all property are all set.
