Use the Library Summary in the Library Manager to display referenced libraries in a tree structure as of CODESYS 3.5 SP17. This can be done with libraries referenced in the project and also with libraries which reference these libraries. You can also highlight libraries in the tree structure which reference or use a certain library.

With keyboard shortcuts you can work even faster in the CODESYS CFC editor. As of CODESYS 3.5 SP17 an overview of all configured shortcuts can be found under Tools ‣ Customize... ‣ Keyboard ‣ CFC. There you can also define your own keyboard shortcuts to speed up your workflow.
As of CODESYS 3.5 SP17 larger drop areas allow you to place pins more easily without having to hit the exact connection point. This makes it even more convenient for you to work with CODESYS.
As of CODESYS 3.5 SP17 you can also activate the dark scheme for your CFC editor in CODESYS - as was already possible in earlier versions for the ST editor. This allows you to work more comfortably in dark environments, and helps to reduce eye strain.
Use the "info", "text", "warning" and "error" pragmas in objects with ST code (Structured Text) to generate compiler messages manually.
Use the "displaymode" pragma with the "bin", "dec" or "hex" parameters to always display individual variables in binary, decimal or hexadecimal format.
In objects with ST (Structured Text) code, use the "region" pragma to expand and collapse lines of code to increase the overview.
To do this, create your own variables for the visualization in the Interface editor of the visualization. Use these variables for the animation. When inserting an object prepared in this way into a new visualization, you can connect the visualization variables with the real variables of the control application. In this way, you can use newly created elements several times and even store them in libraries.

Press and hold the shift key to multi-select the visu elements you want to edit. CODESYS automatically filters all common properties that can be modified and displays them. This way you can change several settings in one go.

Instead of expanding or collapsing element by element in your device, navigator or test script trees, simply use your numpad. The video explains how.
