General

When this option is selected, the project version is automatically incremented on each build.

This option is useful when you start the data selection to enter the name of a variable: for example, a pin of a block in FBD.

When it is selected, you can enter the first characters of a variable to select one of these that matches with the entered string. If the entered string has been already used before, the auto completion feature completes the string with the last variable that was used.

If Message box is selected, all detected error messages are displayed in dialog boxes.

If Output window is selected, all detected error messages are displayed in the output window.

If this box is selected, the windows have the same arrangement whereas the project is opened or closed. A .ZTX file is generated, which saves the context.

When this box is checked, the modified sections are listed in the List of modified sections dialog box after activating the Build Changes command in the Build menu.
