‘Edit’ ‘Delete’

Shortcut: <Del>

For the type of selection the same rules apply as with ‘Edit’ ‘Cut’.

The form of the selection depends upon the respective editor:

In the text editors (IL, ST, and declarations) the selection is a list of characters.

In the FBD and LD editors the choice is a number of networks which are indicated by a dotted rectangle in the network number field.

In the SFC The Sequential Function Chart Editoreditor the selection is a part of a series of steps Step surrounded by a dotted rectangle.

In the ‘library manager’ Library Manager the selection is the currently selected library name..

In order to delete a selected area and simultaneously put it on the clipboard, use the command ‘Edit’ ‘Cut’ ‘Edit’ ‘Cut’.
