Touchpanel symbol expands 32 I/O
pairs at a time.

I/O Grow Special
I/O Grow requires you to manually create each new input, output, or signal you
want. By comparison, I/O Grow Special allows you to specify how many new
input/outputs you want, and they are created as a bloc, instantly and automatically.
Increase Inputs, Outputs, or Parameters with I/O Grow
In Program Manager:
1. Open the Logic Symbols folder, in the Symbol Library.
2. Open your desired specific Symbol folder.
3. Place a symbol into Detail View by dragging or double clicking.
4. Make sure input or output signal is selected.
5. Press ALT + on the keyboard (the ALT key and the plus (+) sign).
In most cases, you will now see one additional input/output pairs appear.
ALT- will produce the opposite effect that ALT+ does: it will reduce the number of
signals.
Increase Inputs, Outputs, or Parameters in Multiples with
I/O Grow Special
1. In Detail View, drag over your desired symbol and select any of its
signal(s).
2. On the keyboard, press SHIFT ALT+. The "Insert Multiple Signals or
Parameters" dialog box will appear, asking for the number of inputs or
outputs to add.
"Insert Multiple Signals or Parameters" Dialog Box
3. Enter the desired number of additional inputs or outputs to be added,
and click OK.
The number of signals will be added to the symbol.
Decrease Inputs, Outputs, or Input/Output Pairs
You can increase the number of inputs, outputs, and parameters, or all three
possessed by a symbol, you can also manually decrease that number. There is
currently no function equivalent to I/O Grow Special, however, that would allow you
to remove inputs, outputs, or parameters in a bloc.
