Saving FBD-logic

How to save logic in the FBD-editor:

In menu File, select Save. Alternative: Press Ctrl+S.
By default, saving automatically triggers the creation of code that is required for the →target system (see "Cleaning projects" for more information). By default, the files with the code are not displayed within the project explorer.

How to save logic in all opened →editors:

In menu File, select Save All.

How to save logic in the FBD-editor under a different name:

1. In menu File, select Save As...

2. In the dialog, enter or select the parent folder (if necessary), then enter the name of the object in File name and click Finish.
   If possible, do not enter invalid characters (e.g. umlauts, blanks, the character –, numbers at the start) because the file name is automatically used as POU-name and this POU-name must be a valid →IEC-identifier. But if you need such invalid characters in the file name, delete or replace the invalid characters in POU name before you click Finish.
   It is possible to change the POU-name at any time later.

logi.CAD 3 provides a so-called autosave feature so that changes in editors are automatically saved. By default, autosave is disabled for the editors.
If you want to activate autosave, change the settings in the preferences as follows: menu Window, Preferences, group General, Editors, Autosave – Check Enable autosave for dirty editors and enter the required interval in the input field below. This preference is used for all →editors.
