To help you perform tasks quickly and easily,
STEP 7 Basic allows you to drag and drop
elements from one editor to another. For
example, you can drag an input from the
CPU to the address of an instruction in your
user program. (You must zoom in at least
200% to select the I/O of the CPU.)
Notice that the tag names are displayed not
only in the PLC tag table, but also are
displayed on the CPU.
To display two editors at one time, use the
"Split editor" menu commands or buttons in
the toolbar.
