Can I define a singleton object?

Hello all,

I am trying to create some custom objects and register it in the User Library.

Is it possible to define a singleton object (like AStarNavigator)?

If so, please let me know how to set it up.

Thank you.

Software Version:

FlexSim 22.0.10

custom object

You can using the dropscript of a dummy/stub object displayed in the library grid to first test if there is an instance and if so prevent the creation of a second instance, or you can prevent the user from accessing the object in the user library and have dependant object create it when they can't find one already in the model (like the navigators, Conveyor and Warehouse systems )

If your object is a navigator, then please look into the SDK documents.
