Title: Re-assigning elements to nicknames in Direct Soft 5
Post by: bobwheeler on August 06, 2008, 06:03:43 PM

I am using Direct Soft 5 with a DL06, and have assigned nicknames to elements C100 through C210.  These elements are not in the default retentive memory range, so I would like to change them to C1000 through C1110.  Does anyone know if there is any way to do this?

Do you have any ladder logic also that needs to be renumbered?

Create a rung with a SET (or RST) of C100 thru C210. It can be the only thing in the program if you want. Now do a search/replace of C100 thru C210 to C1110 with the MOVE Documentation option checked. You can limit the search/replace to just that rung if you are scared. When done, remove the added rung.

If the logic is already written, use Search and Replace.  If it's just the docs, you can cut and paste in the docs editor.

Yes, the ladder logic is already written.  I'll try the search and replace tomorrow.  Thanks for the responses.
