Specific Spacings for PLCs

[liamharris]

HI!

I have finished creating a PLC I/O database for my company; but I have run into a slight issue. Many of the custom made/adjusted PLCs have specific Spacings which people who insert them have to guess at what size it is. I was just wondering if there was any way of setting the Spacing for a PLC so when it is inserted, it is not set to the default of 10 and set to its actual Spacing size (between 10-40).

The only way I can see around this is through having a spreadsheet with the specific Spacing values on for each PLC, but this is quite time consuming.

Any help or advice would be amazing,

Thanks!

Actualy I'm not sure about it but you can try to change this line in your wd.enw file:

*SETQ:GBL_wd_break_parameters,'(0.85 40.0), distance ratio/angle for PLC I/O and connector jagged break lines

And don't forget to remove *

But this is not a space betweet I/O...

Hi,

Thanks for your fast response!

I'll have a look and get back to you, although Im not sure it will work.

The PLC Database File Editor has a field for specific spacing between I/O points.
