Single Icon Display In User Library For Objects With PF - Droppath

Hi,

If the user library has an object PF, while saving it in the user library they are displayed as individual objects in the user library. Ideally, it should be displayed as a single icon in the user library.

So to include the objects in a single icon. I have created a drop path attribute and added them to the user library. Even after adding the drop path the object pf is not getting added to the object which is drag-dropped into the FlexSim model. How to fix this?

Attaching the userlibrary for reference.

Regards,

Just put the process flow in an attribute of the library as a folder so it's hidden. No need for custom drop scripts etc.

I would place the hide folder in the attribute part of the library object - not in the part that gets displayed in the grid.

In this case I think the conveyor in the plane was not pointing to the visualization type.

Fix attached.
