Alternative Look & Feel: The following options allow to define an alternative look of
the networks.
Comments per Contact (only for Ladder editor): If this option is activated, you can
assign an individual comment to each contact or coil . In the edit field Lines for
Variable Comment enter the number of lines which should be reserved and displayed
for the comment. If this setting is done, a comment field will be displayed in the editor
above each contact and coil where you can insert text.
If Comments per Contact is activated, then in the Ladder editor also the number of
lines (Lines for Variable Text :) can be defined which should be used for the variable
name of the contact resp. coil. This is used to display even long names completely by
breaking them into several lines. In the following example 2 lines are defined for the

Networks with Linebreaks (only for Ladder editor): If this option is activated,
linebreaks will be forced in the networks as soon as the network length exceeds the
given window size and some of the elements would not be visible.
Replace with Symbol after entering Address: (only for Ladder editor): If this option is
activated, you can enter an address at a box resp. at a contact or coil (e.g. "%QB4") and
this address will be replaced immediately by the name of the variable which is
assigned to the address. If there is no variable assigned to the entered address, the
address remains displayed unchangedly.
