Post by jschu on Switch visualization style at runtime ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello , will this be changed in an upcooming version? The current method is to use all the color Variables for buttons and object as changeable variables but the amount of work for this results in a bad cost-benefi ratio.

Post by cmj-icsys on Custom configure tab in device editor ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi everyone, I’m developing a custom CODESYS I/O driver for my company’s device, and I’ve been studying the example projects in CODESYS V3.5 SP20 Patch 5. In the IOMappingExample.project, I noticed that EtherCAT devices provide additional configuration tabs in the Device Editor, such as General, Process Data, etc. However, for custom I/O driver examples (based on IoDrv), the Device Editor only shows the default tabs like <devicename> I/O Mapping or <devicename> Parameters.</devicename></devicename> I’d like to create custom tabs or configuration pages in the Device Editor (e.g., “General Settings”, “Communication”, etc.) to allow users to configure parameters in a more structured way. Could anyone explain: How to define and register custom tabs or UI pages in the Device Editor? What tools or SDKs are needed to create UI elements such as combo boxes or check boxes? How to bind those UI controls to device parameters defined in the XML (device description)? Any example, SDK reference, or documentation link would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!

Post by simone on Collapse all ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, I'm wondering if it exist a button or a keyboard shortcut (much much better) for "collapse all" the open folder on a codesys project. It would really be nice to have. Also: Are there some options or configuration for set a default zoom for the different editor (or even one global), for example I would like to have 100% on ST, LD editor and have 80% on Visualization Editor; and also have a button to set all the zooms to default, now it seems that every file mantain the one previously set. I'm working with the 3.5.20.10 right now Thanks!

Post by dogulas on Removing a symbol from the IEC Symbols Editor grid ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
In the CODESYS IDE I have several symbols defined and I have IEC Symbol Publishing installed. On the IEC Symbol Publishing window and under the IEC Symbols Editor tab, I have dragged symbols from the tree on the left to the grid on the right. All this works fine. Now I want to remove one of the symbols from the grid on the right and I cannot see any way to do this. How can I remove a symbol from the grid on the right once I've added it?

Post by bertus on Axis directions in CNC editor not using right-hand rule? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hello, Coming from robotics, I'm used to coordinate systems using the right-hand rule. But when I created below small NC program in the Codesys CNC editor, I noticed that the axis triad's Z-axis is flipped (see attached screenshot), resulting in left-hand rule. Is there a setting to change this? Or am I misunderstanding something in the CNC world? N000 G00 X0 Y0 N010 G01 X100 N020 G01 Y50 N030 G01 X0 N040 G01 Y0 N050 G01 Z25

Post by gseidel on Axis directions in CNC editor not using right-hand rule? ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi bertus, the coordinate systems used in SoftMotion CNC are all right-handed. The CNC editor uses isometric projection. This can be confusing, as in your example. The y-axis seems to point into the screen, away from the viewer. However, this is just an optical effect. If you turn on the (experimental) perspective projection (must be added to the CNC tool bar using tools->customize), you can see that the coordinate system is in fact right-handed. Best regards, Georg

Post by reiterf on Visualisierungs-Stil White style, 3.5.16.0 verursacht Überseztungsfehler ^{CODESYS Forge talk (Post)}
Hi, ich möchte ein kleine Testaufbau viualisieren und hätte mich für den Stil "White" entschieden. nun ist es allerdings so daß dieser Stiel einige fehler beim übersetzen erzeugt. Ich habe dann versicht auf den Basic-Style zurückzugehen -- dann sind auch die Fehler weg. Leider wird dann aus der WebVisu (nur am Gerät) kein Druckknopf mehr angezeigt. Ich habe die gleichen Fehler auf 2 Codesys-Installationen (Gleicher Software Stand, 2 PCs) Kann mir da jemand weiterhelfen? ... ich Konnte den Fehler zwar nicht finden aber durch eine Komplette Deinstallation von Codesys und Übertragung der Projektdaten in ein neues Projekt ist der Fehler verschwunden. danke

Post by ingo on #12 Some functions are not working on mobile devices ^{CODESYS Forge support (Post)}
All functions, which are using the helper function "get_cm" to get codemirror areas, are not working. The reason is, that we disabled codemirror for mobile devices, as it is not working. An easy workaround would be to use just the codmirror style classes.

Hi Aliazzz, some of the options will be removed when the style of the statistics will be fixed. But with the keyphrases, you are right. This is a non-critical and important feature, when s.o. seriously optimizes his descriptions for Google. Seems as this is a limitation of goaccess, which we are using to get the statistics. I hope, that I applied a good enough workaround.

Thanks! I compared the CODESYS Homepage and our current style. I guess, that we made a mistake in the last design session. Until we have the next session, I changed the font-size to a value which I think is more correct. But please be patient if it changes after the next session again ;)

Does anyone know a way to load a CNC program from CNC Editor faster using SMC_NCDecoder? It takes around 7 seconds to load 34 lines of G code and this is a problem for repeating the CNC program.

Hi, you have to define how many increments of the drive correspond to one unit in your application. This is done in the Scaling/Mapping Tab in the drive editor.
