‘Extras’ ‘Expand macro’

With this command, the selected ‘Extras’ ‘Create macro” is re-expanded and the elements contained in it are inserted in the POU at the macro’s location. The connections to the pins of the macro are again displayed as connections to the in- or outputs of the elements. If the expansion of the macro can not occur at the location of the macro box for lack of space, the macro is displaced to the right and down until enough space is available.

Note

If the project is saved under project version number 2.1, the macros will likewise all be expanded. All macros will also be expanded before conversion into other languages.
