Finding references for the current FBD-element

How to find references (i.e. usages) for the current FBD-element and how to go to a found reference:

  1. From the context menu of the drawing field, select Find References.
    Result: logi.CAD 3 lists all found references for the FBD-object (e.g. the FBD function block) in the Search view. The first level lists the found files, the second level lists the references in the file.

  2. Click images/download/attachments/406487188/DownButton-version-1-modificationdate-1530101672694-api-v2.png in toolbar of Search in order to go to the first reference. Or double-click a listed reference on the second level.

Finding references for a variable or function block instance

How to find references (i.e. usages) for a →variable or a →function block instance (= instance) that is used in the current FBD-editor and how to go to a found reference:

  1. From the context menu of a →value field containing a variable or of a function block →call, select Find References.
    Alternative 1: Make the list of declared variables visible. From the context menu of the variable or instance, select Find References.
    Alternative 2: Select several value fields and/or calls within the drawing field or several variables within the list of the declared variables. Then select Find References .
    Alternative 3 for an →input variable, →output variable or →in-/out variable : Use the same command within the interface editor.
    Result: logi.CAD 3 lists all found references for the variable or the instance in the Search view. The first level lists the name of the variable or instance, the second level lists the references.

  2. Expand the first level (if necessary). Click a listed reference on the second level.
