How to create →value fields and/or →calls of →function block instances in the →graphical FBD-editor by dragging the already existing →variables and/or →function block instances from the list of declared variables:

1. Make the list of declared variables visible.

2. Select the variables/instances in the list.
   Press Ctrl+A to select all elements in the view. Or press and hold the Shift- or the Ctrl-key to select several variables/instances.

3. Press and hold the primary mouse button while you drag the variables/instances into the drawing field.

4. Release the primary mouse button to create the appropriate FBD-elements.
   During this user action, it is possible that affected lines are automatically rerouted. If the positioned element is presented with a red rectangle, the destination is not possible. Press the ESC-key, if you do not want to position the element and abort the action.
