Object Inserted Event

Object Inserted events enable you to create objects whose actions are triggered on a CimEdit, as opposed to a CimView, screen.

Object Inserted triggers a procedure or calls a script when an object is pasted, dragged, and dropped, inserted from the CimEdit Symbols Library.

Field Description
A Action Contains a drop-down list of existing procedures and scripts. Use either of the following.
Procedure  
Script  
B Parameter These entry points have no parameters.
C Debounce event Check  
Clear  
Note: When debouncing is enabled, the event/action queue is always processed one action at a time; the current action must be completed before the next action can start. This makes the queue's event/action sequencing predictable and avoids situations where many events could trigger actions and consume unacceptable levels of CPU and memory.
Note: The Object Inserted event is not triggered if the object is:
  • Inserted using the Object Model,
  • Inserted again by using the CimEdit Undo or Redo feature, e.g. after it has been cut or deleted from or previously inserted in the screen.
Note: Events based on inserting or removing objects are only available for the CimEdit screen. They do not apply to CimView or any other application.
