Title: Bit of word??
Post by: cteubert on September 18, 2012, 03:42:30 PM

Maybe I'm not seeing it, but I'm looking for how to use a bit of a word.
For instance in DirectSoft I have B607.0, how is that now referred to in DoMore Designer?

Do a search for "casting" in the help.

As ATU alluded, bit-of-word is handled as part of a more generalized system of casting. It is quite powerful and you would do well to familiarize yourself with it.

However...the simple answer is ':' followed by the bit number. Works with any numeric block...but not on struct fields. So V12:10 or D100:30 are both valid, but T0.Acc:0 is not.

Another useful place for info on casting is the Element Browser's Cast Builder. It's hidden under the 'More >>' button.
