Duplicate devices in a diagram because tags can be different
« on: January 16, 2023, 09:32:33 pm »
Hello all,
I've been reading a lot the forum and found many answers, yet my first topic here  ;D.

The usecase here is I'm trying to link a physical network architecture with a logical architecture. So I have a lot of network equipments (in the physical architecture), and each of them has 2 or more logical representations.

Let me clarify, I have my diagram with the physical architecture (containing a physical overview of all the equipments), and I have many diagrams with the logical architecture of each equipment.

The problem is that I have multiple logical representations of a single equipment, this means on the same logical diagram I need to add twice or more an equipment. The different logical representations are simple a different IP and few other tags/attributes.

My question there : How can I add an equipment on a diagram with "versionned" tags/attributes? Instead of inserting it multiple times just because I have a different tag/attribute.



Thanks a lot,
Have a good year!

Virgile

You use instances and set state variables to show the content of attributes.

IIRC the example model (open from the help menu) has some examples.
