Under ‘Step Height’, you can enter how many lines high an SFC step can be in your SFC editor. 4 is the standard setting here. Under ‘Step Width’, you can enter how many columns wide a step should be. 6 is the standard setting here.

You can also preset the ‘Display at Step’, i.e. which of the attributes, defined ‘Extras’ ‘Step Attributes’ should be displayed next to the step. Either choose Comment, Time Limits, or Nothing:

  • If “Nothing” is set, the defined comment and the time limits nevertheless can be shown in a tooltip, which appears when the cursor is placed on the lower right corner of the step box.
  • If “Comment” is set, the defined comment and the time limits can be shown in a tooltip, which appears when the cursor is placed on the upper right corner of the step box.
  • If “Time Limits” is set, the defined comment and the time limits nevertheless can be shown in a tooltip, which appears when the cursor is placed on the lower right corner of the step box.
