Change Special Time in Synthesim?

Hi,

I've created a custom bar chart (saved in .vgd file).
I know how to hard-code the display time, e.g. with :BAR-TIME, and that if this command is omitted the graph uses the Special Time. (See https://www.vensim.com/documentation/24 ... q=BAR-TIME)
I know that a way exists to change Special Time in a .cmd file, e.g. with TIMEAXIS>SPECIALTIME|value. (See https://www.vensim.com/documentation/25 ... PECIALTIME)

I'd like to be able to scroll through values of Special Time in synthesim, so the bar chart updates by slider. Any way to do this?

Best regards,
Rob

One way to hack this is to use the Control Panel to set Special Time = FINAL TIME, and then make a Synthesim slider for FINAL TIME. But that seems defeat the concept of Special Time to examine a slice of a full simulation...

I can't think of a way of doing it. But it's easy to implement in the new GUI, I'll add it to the list of things to do.
