Command to craete a fixed Resource as pick and drop

Hello, I want to know which command will allow me to create an object into the Model as I pick and drop a source, combiner, etc. from the library.

Previously, I used the command createcopy based on that I had a Dummy Fixed Resource and then I copied it and change its labels, but this way generates me some errors with process Flow, instead of when I create them directly from the library, so I want to which is the command that creates them.

Thanks.

Manuel.

The create object activity is exactly the right approach to do that. There isn”t a command that replaces drag and drop from library. If you want to build a new object behavior by this approach, you will run into trouble, because there are some functions, that needs to be reset before they are going to work.

The main procedure is by:

Create Object activity > choose an Object from Library and place it in model().

assign created object to a label at token, e.g. myNewObj

Source Code activity > set a unique name, e.g. by appending a rising number

token.myNewObj.name = “mySetName”+string.fromNum(10);

Change Visual activity > sets a location
Assign Labels activity > sets labels at token.myNewObj
