File -> New

image\icon_datei_neu_sn.gif image\pfeil_sn.gif Menu command New

The command opens a new window with an empty programming interface for programming in LAD or FBD, depending on your set mode. Depending on your default setting, a window opens with a number of tabs in which you can specify the properties of the circuit program you are going to create. This window can also be called later to either enter or modify the properties with the File -> Properties menu.

Program sections that have previously been placed on the clipboard by means of the cut or copy functions remain on the clipboard and can be pasted into the new circuit program.

An icon for this menu command is also found in the standard toolbar.

Switching between LAD and FBD

You select the editor for creating a new circuit program from the Tools -> Options: Standard Editor menu command.

Select either "FBD Diagram Editor" or "LAD Editor" from the Standard Editor drop-down list. New circuit programs will be created in either LAD or FBD according to your selection.
