The button License info will be available, if you work on a PLC Designer project, which
had been saved already with licensing information by the command 'File' 'Save as...'. In
this case the button opens the dialog 'Edit Licensing Information', where you can
modify or remove the license (see chapter 'License Management in »PLC Designer«')

If you choose the option Ask for project info in the category Load & Save in the
Options dialog box, then while saving a new project, or while saving a project under a
new name, the project info dialog is called automatically.

'Project' 'Global Search'

With this command you can search for the location of a text in POUs, data types, or in
the objects of the global variables.

When the command is entered, a dialog box opens in which you can choose the
desired object. The selection is made as in the 'Project' 'Document' description.

If the selection is confirmed with OK, the standard dialog for Search will be opened.
This appears immediately when the command 'Global Search' is invoked via the

symbol

in the menu bar; the search is then automatically carried out in all

searchable parts of the project. The most recently entered search strings can be
selected through the combo box of the Search for field. If a text string is found in an
object, the object is loaded into the corresponding editor or in the library manager and
the location where the string was found is displayed. The display of the text that is
found, as well as the search and find next functions behave similarly to the command
'Edit' 'Search'.

If you select the In message window button, all locations where the series of symbols
searched for appears in the selected object will be listed line by line in tabular form in
the message window. Afterward, the number of locations found will be displayed.

If the report window was not opened, it will be displayed. For each location that is
found, the following will be displayed:

• Object name
• Location of the find in the Declaration (Decl) or in the Implementation (Impl)

portion of a POU

• Line and network number if any
• The full line in the text editors
• Complete text element in the graphic editors
