Table 610: “Elements”
This defines the dimensions of the SFC elements: step, action, qualifier, property. The values are given in matrix units, where one matrix unit equals the font size that you set in the text editor options (text area / font). The settings are always active immediately in all open SFC editor views.
“Step height”	Possible values: 1-100
“Step width”	Possible values: 2-100
“Action width”	Possible values: 2-100
“Qualifier width”	Possible values: 2-100
“Property width”	Possible values: 2-100

The example text shows the current font. Click it to change the font.

Table 612: “Step Actions”
“Default insertion method”	“Copy reference”: The reference to the action objects that call the step are also copied when the step is copied. The copied step and new step call the same action. “Duplicate implementation”: The reference to the action objects that call the step are linked to this step. When copying the step element, new action objects are created for the new step, and the implementation is duplicated. “Always ask”: When inserting a step action, you are always prompted whether the actions of a step element should be duplicated when it is copied, or whether the reference to the existing action should be applied. Note: If a step already contains an embedded action, then new inserted actions of this step are also embedded. Likewise, new inserted actions are not embedded when the step already contains a non-embedded action. In these cases, you are no longer prompted for a duplication mode.

Table 613: “Embedded Objects”
“Show action and transition objects in the navigator”	: Action and transition objects that are embedded in the SFC box by a step are displayed in the “Devices” or “POUs” tree view.
