Re: Feature request: make loop polarity direction indicator vector graphics
Problem solved: there is another way to set the loop polarity indicator in the new gui it's under "shape". I had not expected to find it there and had hence only found the pixelish alternative under images... I have found this by going back to old gui, seeing nothing, then setting them the...

Explicit Stock-Flow Structure of the Pink Noise
I would like to know the explicit structure of the built-in Vensim function "RANDOM PINK NOISE" I am aware that it must be some form of stock-adjustment structure to build in the autocorrelation. But it seems to be different from the versions that Sterman has in its appendix to his textboo...

Re: Cannot use up and down arrow on keyboard for hide-level change
Thanks a lot, very helpful!
You may want to consider adding this to the Vensim documentation, e.g. where the arrows on the bottom tool bar are mentioned.

Cannot use up and down arrow on keyboard for hide-level change
If I remember correctly, in older Vensim Vesions one could use the up and down arrow keys on the computers keyboard when doing a presentation in which elements are to be successively un-hidden. This does not work any more, neither in Move-tool mode nor in lock sketch mode. Is there another way to us...

Feature request: make loop polarity direction indicator vector graphics
The loop polarity direction indicator image is pixel graphics. When the rest of the model can be exported as vector graphic, the pixel graphic looks strange. Furthermore, If I am not mistaken, earlier Vensim Versions did have vector versions of the loop polarity direction indicator. It would be real...

Export as SVG not workingn correctly for new sketch style
When exporting in "new style sketch" i.e. disabling View/traditional sketch style, the function View/Export as SVG does not yield the same results as what is seen on the screen. It seems that what is exported is somehow a mix of old and new sketch style: - the visual connection between the...

Re: how to export vector graphic sketch from Vensim on Windows?
Furthermore, the rounded edges of the "new sketch" for stocks does not appear in the export either. The exported graphic has some features reminiscent of the "old sketch".

Re: how to export vector graphic sketch from Vensim on Windows?

how to export vector graphic sketch from Vensim on Windows?
I used to work with Vensim on a Mac. There exporting a sketch in Vector format is not a big issue: copy and then paste into another app. Thanks to the new sketch, now even the clouds are vector graphics. However, when I do the same on windows (e.g. into MS Powerpoint) what I get is pixel graphics. I...

Re: Vensim not correctly calculating stock from flows
Thanks Tom, very helpful. I had indeed forgotten to multiply with 0.25 (=time step) because the flow values are defined for a full time unit (here months).

Vensim not correctly calculating stock from flows
What I am used to is that Vensim calculates the value of the flows based on the values of the stocks of the previous time step and the equations of the flows and that the value of the stock of this time step is then calculated based on the flows and the equation of the stock. However, I have built a...

How to set link polarity to always on arrow handle?
In the Vensim settings (options)/sketch/arrows I am missing an option to set the position of the link polarity marking to always be on "arrow handle" (inside or outside). In earlier versions of vensim I managed to set that, but not in the current version. Is there at least a way to do that...

Re: Feature request: link polarities ON arrows
This is actually almost possible already, because in the Vensim settings, its possible to set the distance of the polarity to 0. Then the link polarity is on teh arrow, if the setting for the position is set to one of the handle options. The only problem is that the background of the polarity is tra...

Feature request: link polarities ON arrows
The current possibilities in Vensim with respect to positioning the link polarity often make it necessary to move the link polarity in order to be clear about which polarity belongs to which arrow. CLDs become much more legible if the link polarities are not next to the arrow but ON the arrow. Some ...
