Tool bar: The tool bar with the buttons for faster selection of menu commands becomes visible underneath the menu bar.

Status bar: The status bar at the lower edge of the main window becomes visible.

Online in Securitymode: In Online mode a dialog box appears with the confirmation request whether the command should really be executed. If supported by the target system,  an extended dialog might be available when you want to load the actual project from the programming system to the PLC If there is already a project on the PLC, this dialog will display the project information of that project as well as the information of the project currently to be loaded. This project information also will be available in case of creating a boot project when there is already one on the PLC. This option is saved with the project.

Query communication parameters before login: As soon as the command 'Online' 'Login' is executed, first the communication parameters dialog will open. To get in online mode you must first close this dialog with OK.

Do not save communication parameters in project: The settings of the communication parameters dialog ('Online' 'Communication Parameters') will not be saved with the project.

Show print area margins:In every editor window, the limits of the currently set print range are marked with red dashed lines. Their size depends on the printer characteristics (paper size, orientation) and on the size of the "Content" field of the set print layout (menu: 'File" "Documentation Settings").

F4 ignores warnings:After compilation, when F4 is pressed in a message window, the focus jumps only to lines with error messages; warning messages are ignored.

MDI representation: Per default this option (Multiple-Document-Interface) is activated and thus several windows can be opened at the same time. If the option is deactivated (SDI mode) only one window can be opened and will be displayed in full screen mode. Exception: The action of a program and the program itself can be displayed side by side even in MDI mode.

Communications timeout [ms]: for standard communication services: Time span in milliseconds, after which the communication to the target system will be terminated if no more activity is detected. Possible values: 1-10000000 ms.

Communications timeout for download [ms]: for long lasting communication services (program download, file up- and download, boot project creation and check): Time span in milliseconds after which the communication to the target system will be terminated if no more activity is detected (Download Wait Time). Possible values: 1-10000000 ms.

XML-Encoding: The format for XML-exports can be selected. The default setting is "ISO 8859-1". This concerns the communication via ENI, Message Interface and COM Automation Interface, as well as each user-triggered XML-export. An exception is the XML-export of the Licensing Manager.

Language: Define here, in which language the menu and dialog texts should be displayed.
