dialog box:
Options dialog box of the category Editor
You can make the following settings for the Editors:
Autodeclaration: If this option is activted , then after the input of a not-yet-declared
variable a dialog box will appear in all editors with which this variable can be declared.
Autoformat: If this option is activted, then »PLC Designer« executes automatic
formatting in the IL editor and in the declaration editor. When you finish with a line,
the following formatting is made: 1.Operators written in small letters are shown in
capitals; 2. Tabs are inserted to that the columns are uniformly divided.
List components: If this option is activated, then the Intellisense functionality will be
available to work as an input assistant. This means that if you insert a dot at a
position where a identifier should be inserted, then a selection list will open, offering
all global variables which are found in the project. If you insert the name of a function
block instance, then you will get a selection list of all inputs and outputs of the
instanced function block. The Intellisense function is available in editors, in the Watch
and Receiptmanager, in visualizations and in the Sampling Trace.
Declarations as tables: If this option is activated, then you can edit variables in a table
instead of using the usual declaration editor. This table is sorted like a card box, where
you find tabs for input variables, output variables local variables and in_out variables.
For each variable there are edit fields to insert Name, Address, Type, Initial and
Comment.
