Aligning FBD-elements

You are able to change the alignment of several FBD-elements to each other in the →graphical FBD-editor:

  1. Select the FBD-element with the requested alignment. This is the reference element.

  2. Enhance the selection by all FBD-elements for which to change the alignment (e.g. several →value fields and/or →calls with different alignments).

  3. Open the context menu for the reference element.

  4. Select Layout and the appropriate command for the alignment. Alternative: Move the mouse cursor onto the reference element and press the appropriate keyboard shortcut.
