use entities in new diagram

Post by moudi »

Sorry for asking again...

How do I use existing entities in a new diagram? I went to the entity inspector of the "widget" entity, created a new diagram, and wanted to use some existing entities in this diagram. It works, but I cannot link them, e.g. flows out/in from a stock. How can I do this. I assume it is a very simple issue but I cannot manage it. See the model included.

Thanks.

Not quite sure what you're trying to do. Do you want to reuse the same structure in a different context (Paste as New, like Vensim's Replicate), or use a reference to existing structure (ordinary Paste)? Or reuse an entire entitytype?

I wanted to paste a part of the model onto a new diagram (replicate). The structure is not fully visible (see the attached document and the ventity model). In particular the flows are not visible. Moreover, I'm not sure if the "copy paste" functionalities work properly.

Sorry I wanted to paste part of an existing structure ("paste" NOT "paste as new").

There are definitely some copy-paste issues, which I hope will be resolved in the next release.
