The PPG Menubar
Delete (Del)
| To delete a node or frame, select it and choose Edit > Delete from the menubar |
| or press the Delete key. The object is removed along with any associated Links. |
CAUTION | PPG has no Undo command to reverse actions you make accidentally. |
| |
| For that reason, it's a good idea to use the Cut command instead of the Delete |
| command to remove nodes and frames. That way, if you delete something by mistake, |
| you can use the Paste command to retain the information. |
Properties
Select Edit > Properties from the menubar to view the Properties dialog for both Function and Operation Nodes.
Function Nodes
For Function Nodes (Frames and Subroutines) you can also point to the node and click the right mouse button to activate a popup menu; select Properties.
The Function Node’s Properties dialog opens, showing the assigned name and description.
