You can export to an Excel file, then make the required changes, then import.

I hope this helps. In the left menu (Project view), you can use Ctrl + mouse click to select multiple objects. To group them, you have to draw, for instance, a rectangle first. Then move all of them together on the rectangle or move them one by one.

Feature Request: Keyboard Shortcuts to Reduce Mouse Usage (Ergonomics)

Hi I imagine that many of the developers working on this project are quite young and may not have experienced tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) or golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis) yet. These are painful forearm tendinopathies caused by repetitive strain and muscle overload. To improve ergonomics, ...

I attempted the following steps: 1) I created an object (OBJ) that is linked to a data structure in the PLC [STRDATA(Tag1, Tag2, …, Tag100)]. 2) A button on this object opens a DialogBox1 with an Alias1 referencing STRDATA, and this works as expected. 3) A button on DialogBox1 opens a second DialogBox2 ...

I'm also including another image as an example, which isn't just related to object color but also to another issue I'm unclear about, which I've labeled "Graphic Design" within this community. The border in the image has the same color as the fill color, but it appears different when viewed. Furthermore, ...

RE: The PDF does not load in the PDF viewer using string formatter for path, it is embedded within a dialog box container.

Thanks for your reply; it works. I understand why the string must be converted into a URI using this prefix. The program's help documentation is unclear, so I think I will always have to rely on your help. Besides being unclear, I think it is also incorrect. If you check it yourself, you should find ...

I apologize for bringing this up again, but I tend to have doubts when I don't fully understand something. I asked the AI for clarification, and now everything is clear to me, as long as it confirms the accuracy of what it writes. Additionally, should we avoid using odd thickness (1, 3, 5, 7, etc.) and ...

Thank you for your response. Although it didn't resolve my issue, it did help me understand two important points. First, I learned that you cannot individually select the properties of a button, as well as potentially other objects. Some settings are defined globally and apply to the entire project, ...

I'm asking if anyone has successfully used a complex dynamic link-like a string formatter-in the path of a PDF viewer. I've tried multiple times, but without success. Interestingly, when I used the same complex dynamic link in a label nested in the same container, it worked perfectly. The file path displayed ...

Why is the color of the button different from the line color, even though both are set to the same color and the button is transparent? I am attaching the screenshots.

Thank you for your replies. I noticed that in order to test the Modbus simulation, it needs to download the program from the following link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/modrssim/ I have created the Studio 5000 file with the tags specified in the project, which I am attaching. However, I didn't ...

Optix Edge as a gateway

I would like some information on using Optix Edge as a gateway. Let me explain with an example: suppose I want to continuously read "Tag1" from a Logix PLC and then write that value to "Tag2" in a PLC that communicates via Profinet. Everyone I've spoken to says this is possible, but no one seems to know ...
