5.10 Other Framework Editor Tools

5.10.1 Finding and replacing text

Text strings within the active ladder diagram can be replaced with
other strings using the Replace Text tool. This contrasts with the
Replace Text in Project command that is available in the Edit menu,
which replaces text throughout the project.

Selecting the tool activates the Replace Text dialog:

Using the dialog you specify the text string to be replaced and its replacement.
Scans may be case-sensitive or case-insensitive. Scans may also be restricted to
whole-word matches or not. This is especially useful when replacing tag names in
a diagram and you need to replace all occurrences of the tag XIC1 with XIC2, but
do not want to modify tags XIC11, XIC100, XIC1102, etc. The scan will default to
replacing all occurrences of the search string within the whole diagram, unless
there are objects selected within the diagram, in which case the scan defaults to
the selected objects.

5.10.2 Zooming in and out on a chart

You can view the Flow Chart or Ladder Diagram editor
workspace at several magnification levels using the Zoom In
and Zoom Out buttons on the toolbar. Zoom In makes the
diagram appear larger, while Zoom Out makes the diagram

appear smaller, allowing you to see more of it within the workspace window. By
default, the workspace is initially displayed at the maximum magnification level.
