Process Flow Debug

Is there a way to put a break point at an activity in process flow so every time when a token hit that activity, it stops and I can look at what's going on at that time spot?

Also when I hit a certain time spot, I am using Event list viewer to step through, is there a way to step events on selected objects (not filter the objects for which you want to see the events).

Say at time 11 seconds, event 1 of token 1 happens, at time 12 seconds, event 2 of token 1 happens, between 11 and 12 seconds, I may have 100 other different events happening, I don't want to step them one by one, I just want to hit one step and then the time clock comes to the next event for token 1, is there a way to do this as well?

Thanks for the help!

Hopefully in FlexSim 2017 there will be a better method for putting breakpoints on an activity. For now the only way is by adding in a CustomCode activity wherever you want a break and placing a breapoint in its trigger.

There is currently no way to step trhough a specific objects events. This will hopefully be a feature of the token debugging in v2017.

when will 2017 version be released? I find it not really easier to debug compared with 3D environment when you can't put break points in the process flow.

Are these features in the list of new feature package for FlexSim 2017?

You could filter your debug points by putting if statements in your custom code and then placing the debug() commands inside the if statements.

FlexSim 2017 will be released before the beginning of the year.
