Hello,
I have a model that has a large number of 'Views' in sketch mode. I think, some time ago, I must have deleted a view, without removing the variables on it first. Now, when I want to add those variables to a new 'view', I receive an error, saying that the variable already exists. This is quite correct, as I can see them in text mode. I know I can work in text mode, or simply add the same routines to a sketch with different variable names, but I'd be interested to know if there is any way to bring variables and equations that I can see in text mode into a sketch, on to a new, blank, view.
With thanks,
Phill

Re: Variables in text and sketch views
Yes, use the "Model variable" tool on a new view.
It's the 7th tool on the toolbar in the picture at

Re: Variables in text and sketch views
Ah, it's so simple when you know how (or, when you've read the documentation carefully enough!).
Many thanks,

If you're adding many, you can turn on the sketch varlist: https://www.vensim.com/documentation/sketchlayout.htm
