You can move a Dashboard A special GoldSim element that allows you to build custom interfaces or "control panels" for your models. within a model just like any other GoldSim element. Dashboards can be "dropped" into containers, and moved to a different container by right clicking their icon and selecting the "Move to" option. Moving a Dashboard preserves all of the links between the Dashboard controls and GoldSim elements, in addition to all of the other control settings.
You can also copy and paste a Dashboard within your model. The pasted Dashboard will preserve all the control settings and links between the Dashboard controls and GoldSim elements, with one exception: pasted Input Grid controls will retain all of their settings, but will not retain the link to the original element. This is because GoldSim does not allow the same element to be referenced by multiple Input Grid controls.
You can also copy a Dashboard from one model to another. When you do so, how it behaves in the new model is a function of how the Dashboard was pasted:
- If you paste the Dashboard separately from any elements it references (e.g., in multiple operations), the pasted Dashboard willnot retain any links to the original elements (even if you subsequently paste them into the model).
- If you paste the Dashboard simultaneously with the elements it references, the pasted Dashboard will retain any links to the original elements.
In both cases, the pasted Dashboard will preserve all the other control settings,
You cannot move a Dashboard control An object that can be added to a GoldSim model (via the Dashboard Authoring tools) in order to construct a customized user interface (a dashboard) for the model. Controls provided by GoldSim include buttons, checkboxes, sliders, input edit fields, text boxes and result displays. from one Dashboard to another in a model. However, you can copy (or cut) and paste the control. When you do so, the pasted control will preserve all the control settings and the link between the control and any referenced elements. There is, however, one exception to this rule: pasted Input Grid controls will retain all of their settings, but will not retain the link to the original element. This is because GoldSim does not allow the same element to be referenced by multiple Input Grid controls.
You can copy and paste multiple controls simultaneously. To do so, select the controls you wish to copy and paste, press Ctrl+C (copy), and then click Ctrl+V (paste) in the destination Dashboard.
You can also copy and paste a control from one model to another. When you do so, the pasted control will preserve all the control settings, but will not retain any link to a referenced element (even if you subsequently paste the element into the model).
