System- and communication configuring D7-SYS - SIMADYN D
Edition 03.2001
4.5.2 Object-oriented
handling of the configuring tools
The STRUC V4.x configuring tools are always handled depending on the
particular function, i. e. you select a function from the menu (e. g. "Delete
block") and then the object to be processed (e. g. the block to be
deleted).
The configuring tools of SIMATIC STEP7 are, just like all Windows 95/NT
applications, handled in an object-oriented fashion. You select one or
several objects (e. g. blocks to be deleted), and then the action which you
wish to execute via the menu (e. g. "
Edit > Delete block(s)
"). The
individual tools offer diverse possibilities to select objects. The selection
can either be made via
•
menu
bar
•
context-sensitive pop-up menus
•
keyboard
commands
(hotkeys).
