Title: Simple, Silly Question about DirectSoft 5
Post by: servodude on May 28, 2009, 01:19:44 AM

I have been using DirectSoft on and off for a couple of years, and I have one question that I havenot figured out while using DirectSoft5.

SCENERIO:
I have a normal ladder program with more than one rung, and I decide that I need to make a new first rung.  I know how to use the Ctrl-UpArrow, Ctrl-DownArrow, etc., but if I am in edit mode, and I put the cursor on the first contact on the current line 1, and then execute the Ctrl-UpArrow, nothing happens.

Is there a way to insert a new line 1, or do I just code the current line 1 with the new line 1 code, and then place the code from the original line 1 onto the new line 2?

Thanks for your replies!

I just did this today as a matter of fact.  Just put the cursor on rung 1 while in edit mode, and press Ins.  You'll get a dialog that asks if you want to insert a new Rung, Row, or Column.  Just select Rung and you'll get a new one before the old rung 1.

Oh, stop whining.  Your glasses are probably next to my muscle rub.
