REF querk

[PLCGuy]

When I hover over an element in a rung, lets say C0, the REF appears which I like. A bunch of elements show up, ie *C0* C1 C2 etc. So I click on C0 and instead of the ref popping up with the C0 bit list I get ST0. I have to click again on C0 in the rung to get the list to start with C0. Can it be made so the ref list pops up to what I click on in the ref box at the rung level? I am lazy I hate to double click. lol

That is just a link to the full Cross Reference view, it is not a list of individual XRef elements.  The filtering of the Cross Reference view is based on the settings of the various toolbar buttons or the default options in the Options dialog, and those settings are probably not showing the full XRef with complete random access.  By default, it filters at the Instruction level (i.e. XRef view only contains elements from the current instruction - you can change this via the toolbar, or for "New Views", go to the XRef View Option's dialog, tweak the settings, and check Apply To: New Views).

I'm guessing that your XRef scope includes ST0 ($FirstScan) element somewhere (instruction, rung, block, global) and you are sorting by Data-Block Number/ID (ST is the FIRST Data-Block #).

We can look at making that hot link be a list of hot links, one for each element in the list.

Also note that when you click on the Element from the Ladder View, that is a mode of the Cross Reference view to "Follow the Ladder Cursor".  This is enabled by default.  So, as you move the block cursor in the ladder view, across individual parameter elements, the XRef view will refesh and show THAT element in the XRef view.

I tried different options and the results are the same. No matter if I go Tool> Cross Reference or hoover over the element then click on the element in the box, it is the same. Ref Box pops open and starts with ST0. In both cases I have to click on the element again to make it follow the cursor. Once I do the second click then it works the way I think it should following what element I click on. IF that is the way it suppose to work, that is fine.

The element list in the tooltip is just a single link to the Cross Reference View, not to any specific element in the cross reference view.  Hence, you still must do any searching/filtering/scoping to get to the desired element.

We will look at making this more helpful in the future.
