Load flowitem into crane using its name

Hello,

I try to load a flow item into a crane. The problem is that I want to load the flowitem with name "xxx" (unique ID). I know the coordinates of the flowitem, so i'm able to travel where the flowitem is. Now I want to load it.

I've tried this using the "move object" process flow function. But if I reference the object with model.find("xxx") it doesn't find the flowitem.

Can you tell me how I can do this ?

Thank you

Guillaume

Add a '?' to the start of the string name.

Note this is not very efficient - better would be to have a pointer reference that you've read from a label or pulled from a list.
