328 Appendix A - Setting LonMaker Default Options
Functional Block
Options
Enable Automatic
Device Selection Automatically assigns the appropriate device to a new functional
block shape, thereby skipping the Functional Block wizard. This
option is cleared by default.
The functional block shape must contain a functional block type
specification for this feature to work. This feature will therefore not
work for the Functional Block shape in the LonMaker Basic Shapes
stencil. To accelerate network design, create custom device master
shapes for each of the functional block types that you typically use.
The order of the criteria used by the LonMaker tool to select the
appropriate device is as follows: (1) closest qualified device to
functional block shape where the device is within 1 ½ times the
width of the functional block shape, and then (2) device most
recently created or device that has most recently been assigned a
functional block. If no device can be selected using the preceding
criteria, the Functional Block wizard will appear.
Scope: All networks, current LonMaker computer
Include Device Name
with FB Shape in
Drawing Includes the device name in the name displayed for a functional
block in the LonMaker drawing. The device name followed by a
period will precede the functional block name. For example, the
default name of a functional block shape associated with a second
LonPoint analog output device created in the LonMaker drawing
would be AO- 2. AO- 1. This option is selected by default.
Scope: Current network, all LonMaker computers
Create Shapes for all
NVs Adds network variable shapes for all network variables on a
functional block. This option is cleared by default.
Scope: Current network, all LonMaker computers
Delete Dynamic FB
when FB Shape is
Deleted Deletes a dynamic functional block from a device when its
functional block shape is deleted from a LonMaker drawing. You
have three choices:
• No. The dynamic functional block is not deleted.
• Yes. The dynamic functional block is automatically deleted.
This is the default.
• Ask. The LonMaker tool will prompt you to decide whether to
delete the dynamic functional block.

Delete Dynamic NVs
when FB Shape is
Deleted Deletes a dynamic network variable from a device when its
functional block shape is deleted from a LonMaker drawing. You
have three choices:
• No. The dynamic network variable is not deleted.
• Yes. The dynamic network variable is automatically deleted.
This is the default.
• Ask. The LonMaker tool will prompt you to decide whether to
delete the dynamic network variable.
