Using Autofill
The programmer includes an AutoFill feature that allows you to automatically add pre-selected
text or selections to a point’s device type, point type, or custom label fields.
Follow these steps to use AutoFill:
1.
Open the card whose points you want to edit.
2.
Click on the point containing the text or selections you want to copy. The point’s entry
highlights to show it is selected.
3.
If you want to copy the highlighted text to a range of points, do one of the following:
•
Range of Adjoining Points. If the points adjoin one and other, hold down the SHIFT
key and click the left mouse button on the topmost point in the range. Continue to
hold down the SHIFT key, move to the bottom point in the range, and click and
release the mouse button.
•
Range of Non-Adjoining Points. If the points do not adjoin one another, hold down
the CTRL key and select each point. Release the CTRL key only after all points have
been selected.
4.
Press the F4 key. The AutoFill dialog appears.
