Auto declaration

If the option Auto declaration is activated, a dialog box will appear in all editors when entering a
variable that has not been declared yet. This dialog box is called

Variable declaration.

Autoformat

If the option Autoformat is activated, the DDS carries out automatic formatting in the instruction list
editor and the declaration editor.

After a line has been exited, the following will be formatted:

Lowercase operators will be displayed in uppercase.

Tabs will be inserted for uniform column arrangement.

Declarations as tables

If the option Declarations as tables is activated, variables can be edited as table instead of using
the declaration editor.

This table is arranged as a card index box with tab cards for input, output, local and
input/output variables.

Fields for name, address, type, initial value and comment are available for each variable.

Tab width

Use the field Tab width to specify the tabulator width for the editors.

The default setting is four characters, with the character width being dependent on the
selected font.

Font

Click Font to open the dialog box

Font and select the font for the editors.

The font size is a basic unit for all drawing operations. A larger font size therefore does not
only result in a larger image but also a larger printout for each DDS editor.

Mark

Use the group box Mark to choose from three different marking formats for the graphic editors.

Dotted line: The mark is a dotted rectangle.

Line:The mark is a rectangle consisting of a continuous line.

Filled: The mark is a filled rectangle (inverse).

A dot identifies the active selection.
