Copying container with agv path does not work

When I want to copy a basicFR, that is used as a container for a AGV path, the path which was in the container is not in the copied basicFR. The basicFR is copied and all objects in the basicFR are copied correctly, but the AGV paths that were in the basicFR are not in the copied basisFR but in AGVNetwork object in the model tree.

In the attached example model ( pathcopyingbug.fsm ) I have two paths in basicFR1, so I expect that if I copy basicFR1, the copy also has two paths in it. But this is not the case. Is this a known bug or is this just not possible?

Thanks in advance.

Dear Patrick,

The AGV path is a part of the AGV network node.

In the model you posted, the paths are not child nodes of the AGV network node. So when you tries to copy the BasicFR an AGV network node is created outside the Basic FR and the newly generated path becomes child node of the new AGV network node.

So the AGV paths inside the Basic FR must be child nodes to the AGV network nodes for copying. Please see the attached model.

Hi Arun,

Thanks again. I did not know the AGV paths inside the basicFR node needed to be child node of the AGV network.

@Arun KR

Hi Arun,

One more question about this model. How can I put my current path in a AGV network node? I tried copying a AGV network node and pasted it under BasicFR1. After this I selected the paths and used move object into highlighted, but the paths are no longer visible ( see attachment ). So I do not know how to restore my mistake. In a larger model I have multiple paths that are under a BasicFR and thus not under a AGV network node.

Is it possible to fix this problem or can it not be undone?

Thanks,

Patrick

Dear Patrick,

Instead of moving nodes in the 3D model, you can copy nodes in the tree as shown in the GIF .

You will be able to see the paths.
