6.2.2 Folders
To keep an overview in the case of larger projects, organization units, data types, visualizations and
global variables in the
Object Organizer should be saved in folders.
•
Folders can be nested to any depth.
•
Insert new folders with the command New folder.
A plus sign in front of the closed folder icon indicates that this folder contains objects and/or other
folders.
A click on the plus sign opens the folder and displays all subordinate objects.
A minus sign appears instead of the plus sign.
Click on the minus sign to close the folder again.
The shortcut menu contains the commands Expand node and Minimize node which have the
same functionality.
Drag & Drop

To do so, select the object and move it to the desired position while keeping the left mouse
key depressed.

Folders do not influence the program. All they do is structure projects.
