The commands used to 'Cut', 'Copy', 'Paste', and 'Delete' are found under the 'Edit' menu item.
If a line cross is selected (Cursor Position 5), then the assignments, jumps, or RETURNS located below the crossed line will be cut, deleted, or copied⮫ “Cursor positions in FBD”.
If a POU is selected (Cursor Position 3), then the selected object itself, will be cut, deleted, or copied, along with all of the branches dependent on the inputs, with the exception of the first (highest position) branch. Otherwise, the entire branch located in front of the cursor position will be cut, deleted, or copied.
After copying or cutting, the deleted or copied part is located on the clipboard and can now be pasted, as desired.
In order to do so, you must first select the pasting point. Valid pasting points include inputs and outputs.
If a POU has been loaded onto the clipboard (As a reminder: in this case all connected branches except the first are located together on the clipboard), the first input is connected with the branch before the pasting point.
Otherwise, the entire branch located in front of the pasting point will be replaced by the contents of the clipboard.
In each case, the last element pasted is connected to the branch located in front of the pasting point.
The following problem is solved by cutting and pasting: A new operator is inserted in the middle of a network. The branch located on the right of the operator is now connected with the first input, but should be connected with the second input. You can now select the first input and perform the command “'Edit' 'Cut'”. Following this, you can select the second input and perform the command “'Edit' 'Paste'”. This way, the branch is dependent on the second input.
