It would be amazing if I could once setup a graph (with axis, labels, etc.) and than save (export) it for all available datasets separately.

1) Currently it's only possible to load or unload one Dataset at the time in the Control Panel. It would be great if you could select multiple and load and unload them with a single click. 2) It would be nice if you could also select multiple datasets to load from the file explorer and/or load all d...

Currently it's only possible to save a graph as an PNG image. It would be great if it could also be exported as an SVG image, for including in high-quality reports and printing.

Are release notes for Vensim 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 anywhere available? I would like to check which bugs are fixed.

Maybe a list of "known issues" can also be made available somewhere in the documentation.

Thanks for getting back to me Tom. It looks for me on the surface like a relatively simple parsing issue, is it more complex than that?

Might be related to viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7881

Thanks for putting in the ticket, do you have any update on it? It still persists in 9.2.0.

This is how it looks in 9.2.0:

I missed that I needed to input TIME into the lookup to get a single (range) of variables. Now that I fixed that, I also got the sum working.

cortneyg, if you are still looking how to do that, here's an example model.

When the Check for updates is executed in Vensim 9.1.1 it doesn't suggest updating to 9.2.0. This is confusing and lets the user think it's running the latest version.

... Hi, I have the same problem, I would like summing some subranges of subscripts. Could you share an sample model? To first try to get something simpler working, I tried just dividing the population lookup values by some constant. Then, I get an "is a special type and cannot be used as a nor...

Right, I didn't get it needed be the same instance. Now it works, thanks!

When I try to copy variables from one model to an other, this results in the variables being pasted as images instead of the variables with their equations. I'm using the new sketch layout. I tried following the Copying and Pasting documentation, but it seems outdated for the new sketch layout, sinc...

That indeed also works, it's just nice to reduce the clutter (by default).

We're using Git for version control with our team. The current settings help a lot to make the text readable.

On every save a .mdl2 file is also saved however, and has to be manually disabled to not commit to Git. Could there be an option not to save such backup files?

Could you find anything?

When I correct that to age group : GET DIRECT SUBSCRIPT( 'data/population_data.csv', ',', 'A2', 'A21', '') ~ People ~ | It works in 9.2. Thanks a lot, I adjusted the .mdl file manually, and that fixes the issue! I think I also found the cause. We use the Verbose Equation-format to have readable dif...

This is probably a huge feature, but some kind of input parameter fitting from a validation set would be extremely interesting to have in Vensim. This way, you can for example have validation data for (output) variables A, B and C, that can be used to estimate (input) variables X, Y and Z. It could ...

2b works fine for me, after fixing the same issues. I'm currently running 9.2 though. Thanks for testing! Can you test if the population-submodel.mdl in the ZIP below works on your system with both Vensim 9.1.1 and 9.2? It now also crashes on opening on both a Windows and a macOS system, both using...

What errors did you get when trying to load the data? It just did a hard crash when I tried to open the 2b model. No idea why. Is there some way to get debug output? The example models in the Help system should work in exactly the same way if you change XLS to DIRECT and resave the xlsx as csv. A g...

I managed to fix it and use a GET DIRECT LOOKUPS with a subscript!

Could maybe an example model be added to the GET DIRECT LOOKUPS documentation? Since I believe it's non-trivial since you also have to define the subscript range with GET DIRECT SUBSCRIPT.

Fixed model:

I tried to follow the Loading Data as a Model documentation to open data without having an existing model. When I go to File > Open Model, there isn't a Datasets (Runs) option for file types or anything else with which I can open my .vdfx dataset. Vensim 9.1.1, Windows x64. Screenshot and .vdfx data...

I want to use subscripted lookup and tried using GET DIRECT LOOKUPS , but didn't manage to get it to work. Basically I have a table in a CSV with years (time) on the horizontal axis and different age groups (which I want subscripted) on the Y-axis. I load in subscript values into a variable age_grou...

Currently text labels in exported SVGs are displayed too large in many applications, like Chrome and MS Office applications. I think the problem text (or the font?) is not embedded in the SVG. An sample is provided below. Vensim 9.1.1, Windows x64. https://svgshare.com/i/eD7.svg https://svgshare.com...

To give some context, we're using Vensim at the Delft University of Technology. In a conceptual stage, we also use it to create conceptual models like CLDs and stock-flow diagrams. It's often preferred to modify those diagrams using other software before including in a report or documentation. A big...
