
The new contact will be inserted in line left to the currently selected contact or box. If
the cursor position is within an existing parallel connection, the new contact element
also will be inserted within.
Note: Alternatively a contact element can be inserted by dragging from the ToolBox
or from another position within the editor. If however it should not be inserted
within, but before, behind or between existing parallel connections, this only will be
possible by using the menu command. For this purpose first in each of the branches
of the parallel connection select one of the contact elements (multiselection while
keeping pressed the <Ctrl>-key) and then use the command.
Example
Notice also the commands Insert Contact right resp. Insert Contact Parallel above,
Insert Contact Parallel below.
A new contact element is preset with the text "???". You can select this text by a
mouse-click and replace it by the name or address (depending on the current settings
in the FBD/LD and IL Options dialog) of the desired variable or the desired constant.
The Input Assistant can be used for this purpose.
Note: Concerning the view options for the components of a LD / FBD network notice
the settings in the 'FBD/LD and IL editor Options'.
