Programming Toolbar
The programming toolbar contains integral icons for
creating, editing and testing programs. Each one of these
tools represents a programming mode, in which mouse
operations have different effects.
The editing tools are not available as menu commands.
Selection Tool
You can use the selection tool to select and move blocks,
text and connecting lines. You can select objects
individually with a left click; you can select multiple objects
with [Ctrl] +Click, or you can use the mouse as a "lasso"
to surround objects with a rectangle and capture them as
a selection.
You can call the selection tool in any other tool by
pressing the [ESC] key or by clicking on the icon in the
programming toolbar.
Text Tool
This tool is used to insert or edit user-defined
text objects in the programming interface. You
can specify the font type, font size and font
colour for each individual label.
Text can be set in Wrap Text format. You can adjust the
size of a text typically by dragging the rectangle handles.
Cut/Join
This tool is used to cut and join connections between
blocks. To cut a connection, left click to select the relevant
line while the Cut/Join tool is active. The connection is
replaced at the blocks by a reference to the partner block.
The reference is labelled with the page number, block
number and the I/O of the partner block.
Simulation Tool and Status Window
A toolbox pops up when you open the simulation mode.
It contains:
Icons (e.g. switches) for operator control of the inputs.
