Using EZware-500
Using the Cut
1. These commands are all selected from the Edit menu or by clicking the appropriate icon in
the Standard toolbar.
2. Select the graphics object or objects you wish to cut or copy.
3. Click Cut to copy and remove the graphics object(s) from the work area or click Copy to
copy the graphics object(s). Using Window_12, select the scale meter and then press
CTRL+X to cut the object from the work area.
4. Objects cut or copied from one window can be pasted into other windows. Once the object
has been selected and cut or copied, open another window, then paste the object into that
window.
5. In this example, paste the scale meter back into Window_12 by pressing CTRL+V. The
pasted object appears highlighted in the upper leftmost corner of the work area.
6. Move the scale meter by clicking on the highlighted object and dragging it back to the
original position.
Using the Multi-Copy command
The Multi-Copy command is used to make multiple copies of a single object on a screen. This is most useful when
creating new keyboards or data tables. In addition to copying the object, this command will automatically assign
new PLC memory addresses to each object, (applies only to Bit-type objects).
1. Select the object you wish to copy.
2. From the Edit menu, select Multi. Copy.... The Multi. Copy dialog box appears.
3. Modify the settings according to your requirements.
4. Click OK. The main screen of EasyBuilder is redisplayed with the Multi. Copy command
executed.
Multiple objects can be created according to these parameters:
Pitch vs. Interval: This setting affects how EasyBuilder places the copies of an object on the screen relative
to each other. The Pitch setting will interpret the X Distance setting as the distance from the left side of an
object to the left side of the next object and the Y Distance setting as the distance from the top of one object
to the top of another object.
The Interval setting will interpret the X Distance setting as the distance from the right side of one object to the
left side of the next object. The Y Distance setting is the distance from the bottom of one object to the top of
the next object.
RGT vs. BTM: This setting determines in what order each new copy is made. This will affect how the
automatic PLC memory addressing is created for each object. The RGT (right) option creates copies along
the X axis first (from left to right), then along the Y axis (from top to bottom). The BTM (bottom) option
creates copies along the Y axis first, then the X axis.
X Distance, Y Distance: These settings determine the spacing (in pixels) between objects.
Quantity X, Quantity Y: These settings determine the number of copies to be made along the X axis
(horizontal) and the Y axis (vertical).
Adjust Distance: This is the offset used when assigning a new PLC memory coil address to each new
copy. For example, if 1 is selected, then EasyBuilder will add one to the PLC memory coil address for each
new copy made.
Using the Window Copy command
The Window Copy command is used to copy a window from an existing project into the project that you are
currently editing. This feature reduces time spent creating new projects since you can now use windows that you
created for other similar projects.
1. From the Edit menu, select Window Copy.... The Window Copy dialog box appears.
2. In the Source Project: box, specify the path to the project that contains the window screen
you wish to copy. Use the Browse command button if you are unsure of the location or
name of the project file.
3. In the Source Window No.: box, enter the number of the window screen you wish to copy.
