Delete

(Del)

To delete a node or frame, select it and choose

Edit

> Delete

from the menubar

or press the

Delete

key. The object is removed along with any associated Links.

Properties

Select

Edit > Properties

from the menubar to view the

Properties

dialog for

both

Function

and

Operation Node

s.

Function Nodes

For

Function Nodes

(

Frames

and

Subroutines

) you can also point to the node

and click the right mouse button to activate a popup menu; select

Properties

.

The

Function Node’s

Properties

dialog opens, showing the assigned name and

description.

Figure 17. Subroutine Properties Dialog Box

To keep modifications, press

OK;

a new name shows on the node.

Press

Cancel

to close the dialog without keeping your modifications.

CAUTION

PPG has no

Undo

command to reverse actions you make accidentally.

For that reason, it's a good idea to use the

Cut

command instead of the

Delete

command to remove nodes and frames. That way, if you delete something by mistake,
you can use the

Paste

command to retain the information.

Name

PPG automatically names the item with its type. You can rename or
change the name of the item.

Description

This field is optional, but you may wish to complete it to provide yourself
additional information when using similarly named items.
