RenoEvan Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 Hi everyone, brand new to Unilogic, and for my first job, I'm troubleshooting/editing an existing program. Since the tagnames used in this program are fairly long, when I look through the ladder logic, I can't quickly identify any of the contacts or coils, I need to hover the mouse over each one at a time to see the names. Is there any way to change the display settings so that the tagname display field is either wider, or gets taller to use more than one line to display the complete tagname? I see I can zoom the size of the rungs in and out, but this doesn't help, since the font changes size along with everything else. Thanks for helping a newbie!

MVP 2023 Flex727 Posted September 15, 2020 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 This is one of my biggest complaints about UniLogic. It desperately needs improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ness Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 Yeah, I really like the UniLogic ladder editor for the most part but not being able to view more tag characters is my #1 gripe. I find myself using shortened tag names for a lot of things just so I can read rungs at glance without mousing over everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenoEvan Posted September 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 Thanks for the replies, folks. Sounds like I'm outta luck on this topic. Yeah, I'll need to decide if shortening all the names is worth the effort for this go-around, but probably will just deal with it for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 kratmel Posted September 15, 2020 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 I found that in project Print option present "Ladder tag input size" option. Then Print to pdf. It is possible to see long tag in printed to pdf ladder document. I try to find this option for display - no result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Hughes Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 I would be a useful option, especially when creating logic that gets copied/pasted. And viewing the complete name when troubleshooting or reviewing the code, that function is priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
