Hello again, I have set "Support Source Control" set to true which should avoid saving window layouts and backup files: But when adding a delay step for example git shows that the Model.backup and Model_ModelViewInfo.xml has changed as well. Is there another setting I might be missing? Do you have any other best practices when using source control systems to store Simio models. I am finding merging still very difficult. Thank you Annika

Thank you so much! The piece that I was missing was adding the output node as a column with Auto-set Table Row Reference set to True. By adding this column and setting the row reference it therefore connects the source block with its output node. [I have shown a source object but the same is true for the Server object.]

Hello, I would like to auto-create a new server object from a table and assign the "Entity Destination Type" as well as the "Node Name" from values in the table. I have tried used the Add Data Table From Schema option for the Server object, but this only covers table columns for the server NOT the input or output nodes. I have tried subclassing the server object (MyServer) and setting the "Entity Destination Type" and "Node Name" of the output node of the MyServer object. That works well but I would need different MyServer objects for every unique combination of "Entity Destination Type" and "Node Name". For example, MyServerA would route to "Specific" and "Input@Sink1" and "MyServerB" would route to "Specific" and "Input@Sink2". But I would rather just have a single MyServer object and use a table column to set the values for the output nodes. What is the best way of doing that? Thank you Annika

Thanks so much KatieP, that is exactly what I was looking for.

Hello, I am trying to use git to track changes when working on Simio projects collaboratively. For this I am saving the project as *.simproj and the resulting file and folder structure looks good. But there are too many time stamp changes that make it difficult to track the "important" changes. For example, I only changed the location of the DefaultEntity in the model and hit save. The resulting changes are shown in the attached screenshot, with 20 files shown as changed. The main changes are related to the time stamp. Is there a way to configure Simio such that fewer files will be affected by each change? Thank you. Annika
