Briefcase FB

When should I use a Briefcase FB?

When a model is complex, and there are many kinematic-chains controlled by many Function-Blocks in each Mechanism-Editor, it is more difficult to identify which Function-Blocks control which kinematic-chain.

You can add and use Briefcase FBs:

•to hide all Function-Blocks from the graphics-area, or

•to hide Function-Blocks that control one kinematic-chain.+

•to hide other Briefcase FBs
