Hello,
When Parameter Tables first came out (which are VERY convenient by the way), you could change the Name, Value, Display Units, and Description column widths, just like with Global Table column widths, and then save the model. You do this by clicking on the column header splitter which gives you the double ended arrow. Pretty much like it works for changing Excel column widths.
You'd then be able to save your model, and next time you opened the model to continue working, the Parameter Table and Global Table column widths were the same as when you last saved the model.
However lately (last couple of years actually) the Parameter Table column widths, although they can still be changed in your current FlexSim session, seem to be reset to their default column widths each time I reopen the model. Whereas, the Global Table column widths remain as I set them last time - they do not reset when I reopen the model.
Since this seems to be a change from when Parameter Tables first came out (when their column widths were preserved in a saved model), is there something I can do to prevent these column widths from being reset to default width each time I reopen the model?
Note this is just for the native Parameters table, not the Parameter Table Dashboard GUI you can generate. Speaking of which (and actually a second question), is there also a convenient way to pre-define the corresponding GUI widths in the resulting Parameter Table Dashboard? Sometimes the "Name" is too long in the native Parameter table, and thus winds up wrap-around (or truncated) in the generated Parameter Table Dashboard version. You can manually move stuff around and change widths in the Parameter Table Dashboard in Edit mode (like you can in any Dashboard), but it's a bit clumsy particularly if you wish to change a bunch of things at once. For example, the numeric fields in the Parameter Table Dashboards can be too wide, and I would like to narrow all of their widths for compactness.
Also, can the Parameter Table Dashboard be updated whenever changes are made to the native Parameter Table? Currently, you have to regenerate a new Parameter Table Dashboard when you make changes to the native Parameter table. Maybe a "Regenerate" button or something in Edit mode would do the trick.
As an aside, I notice now that FlexSim asks for a "License Code" below. Although this particular posting is a generic posting for the whole community (including FlexSim engineers and developers), i.e. not necessarily requiring private FlexSim-provided support, I would be hesitant to provide the code in a public post due to IP reasons, since it reveals the name of my company along with what I'm trying to accomplish in FlexSim. Note also that regular day-to-day or even casual, occasional users needing FlexSim-provided support, even if marked as a private posting, may not have access to that license code (only administrators typically have it).
Thank you.
