Hi,
I am a big fan of user-defined datatypes and structures, hence almost all variables I use in a project is defined in a Datatype Worksheet like in the example below.
The problem is that even though I put a comment behind each variable, it is not very helpful when using the variable in the code.
For variables defined in the “variables” tab in a POU, there is a grid where scope, settings and comments can be added, and these comments are available as a tooltip when hovering the mouse over a variable in the code.
Example of tooltip with helpful info from variables declared inside a POU:image.pngExample of tooltip when hovering over a struct:Only the parent struct which is declared in the POU will have a comment, each individual child variable has no tooltipimage.pngimage.png
From other PLC developer software, such as Bachmann’s Solution Center, i am used to that the comment behind a declared variable in a typesheet is available in the tooltip. Other information such as type of variable is also there.
Lastly, i am missing a function to jump from a variable to its declared structure; I want to be able to right click on “ExampleBool2” and have a choice of "Go To Variable Declaration in Typesheet " so that i can investigate the structure and types and comments.
I hope this request sounds reasonable to you, because this is something i really miss after converting from Bachmann.
