Unable to refresh path link the entire network

I have created AGVPath and Control point using tables and script. However, after creating them, I try the [Refresh Path Links] --> [Entire Network], but each path doesn't seem to merge, or CP recognized on the path. Do I need to explicitly define it in the script?

In this model I've added the working createAGVstraightPath user command and the CPs snap to the paths correctly. I've then used refresh paths of this and selected object (not entire network) at the junctions. This should be possible without doing it manually - if I find the solutions I'll update here.

You might also note that the left vertical column is create at -7.94 which is 2cm beyond the horizontal path end of -7.92.

This seems to work now - at least querying distance between control points looks okay. I move the creation code to a user function instead of invoking it in process flow.

@jason.lightfoot Thank you for your kind support. -7.92 was typo. I'm sorry. I have tried your code. But it seems that merge between the paths are not recognized entirely. Please see image below. I think it needs to be [X] at the path merge. Is there some commands needed for this?

Right - I saw the that they were missing but the cpdistance calculated correctly so check to see if it routes correctly.

FlexSim is a bit more complicated then you think when you are building a model by source code.

Please look for answers which are dealing with model creation by code. @Phil BoBo has answered on similar question already.

@Jörg Vogel Thank you for your reply. Thanks for the link, I have gone through Phils reply. But I'm a bit puzzled because when I run the following code, the controlpoint is recognized to the path. I thought that things have improved in 2020 Update1. I mean there weren't any refresh path link UI back in 2016.

Object path = createinstance(node("?StraightPath",library()),model());
path.location = Vec3(0, 0, 0);
path.size = Vec3(2, 0, 0);
function_s(path, "finalizeSpatialChanges");
 
Object cp = createinstance(node("?ControlPoint", library()), model());
cp.location = Vec3(1, 0, 0);
function_s(cp, "finalizeSpatialChanges");

There's a danger when linking to function_s code from 2016 as we've mentioned many times before - there's no guarantee it will work in future versions which is why I keep suggesting that people avoid it, or put the calls in user commands you can call throughout your models but then update in one place when they break.

I'll take a look at this is the context of the user command I sent you for creating paths and come back.
