Working with Blocks

To select a block from an open palette and position it in a diagram:

1. Move the cursor over the desired function block in a palette.

2. Select the block by clicking the left mouse button once. The cursor

changes to a pointing finger.

3. Place the cursor into position in the Diagram Window between the

Start and End blocks.

4. Click the left mouse button once. The block appears in the diagram.

Note: You can also click-and-drag by clicking once on a block with the

left mouse button to select it and, while holding down the left
mouse button, drag it to a location in the diagram.

The Function Block Palettes

The color-coded building blocks that contain GML Commander functions
are the graphical elements you use to create a diagram. These blocks
appear beneath the menu bar in logical groups called palettes. You can
position palettes anywhere on the screen in the same way as Windows
toolbars.
