Ribbon functions

[zed]

Hello,

What is the intended purpose and appropriate time to use the "Rebuild all"  and "Reallocate Memory" functions on the unilogic PLC tab ribbon?  Nothing in the help file so I figured i'd ask someone smarter  

 

Thanks

Hi @zed,

In a normal workflow, you'll probably not need to use them.

The "rebuild all" function is made to clean UniLogic compilation cache. You'd use it if you have a suspicion that some code that you wrote does not affect your PLC or some similar wrong behaviors that you can observe. (understand now why it is not in help?  😄 But more seriously, any serious IDE always offers that option. It can be called "clean build" or splitted in 2 actions: "clean", then "build")

The "reallocate memory" will help in cases that memory is fragmented and will give you more space for your tags.

Again, you'll probably never use it 

Hope this helped
