Here is a simple utility that will export your model to a text file (pipe delimited). Then you can modify the file and import the model back in. NOTE: Currently, this utility does not handle graphics in your model.
There is also has capabilities to import and export lists and networks.
Here are some quick instructions on how to setup this add-in.
1) Download the "ExportImportModelAddIn_DLL.zip"
2) Extract "ExportImportModelAddIn.dll" from the "ExportImportModelAddIn_DLL.zip" into a temp folder (e.g. c:\temp).
3) Right-click the assembly and select properties. Then choose to "unblock" button and press apply. (only needed for Windows 7 and later).
4) Copy "ExportImportModelAddIn.dll" into "C:\Users\<YOUR USERNAME>\Documents\SimioUserExtensions". You might need to add the SimioUserExtensions folder under MyDocuments (C:\Users\<YOUR USERNAME>\Documents) if it does not already exist.
5) Open Simio and load your model.
6) From the Project Home...Select Add-In button, select "Export Import Model"
7) Choose the function that you want to run (e.g. Export, Delete, Import, etc..). Note...If you export and then import the model without a delete, it will update the object data if the object already exist.
Updated 2017-12-05....Fixed index issue with links import.
Updated 2017-09-25....Fixed the import of lists.
Updated 2017-07-14....Added the ability to auto generate and auto read files. Previously, the files need to be created prior to running the add-in. Now, they will created by the export. Also, the import will retrieve the same file generated by the export. These options are available when the "Auto Generate and Read Files" option is selected.
Updated 2017-07-13....Added the ability to multi-select options. Now, more than one option can be initiated when the OK button is selected. This will streamline the process of exporting, deleting and importing. This tool is very helpful for testing out your model with various configurations to ensure that runs properly under various object and/or data configuration.

Updated 2017-07-11....Now supports exporting and importing of model properties, exporting and importing of table properties and delete table data.
Updated 2017-06-22....Now supports exporting and importing of data tables using using XML. This is simple way to export all the table data from one model and import the same data into a new model (assuming that the same tables schema exist in the new model).
Updated 2017-01-27....Now supports exporting of object types using XML. This can be used with the new Configure Scheduling Resources in Simio 9.150 capabilities to define your own object type properties based on an XML document.
Updated 2017-01-23....Now supports exporting and importing objects using XML. When using XML, property units are also exported and imported back in.
Updated 2016-10-24....Updated files...Added support for repeating properties.
There is also has capabilities to import and export lists and networks.
