Toolbar
The Toolbar buttons let you perform many actions that are also available on the menus.
The available buttons change, depending on whether "Prepare Execution" is clicked for a robot, and on which editor is active in the Editors view. The execution privilege is intended only for Basic Engine Robots. Only one Basic Engine Robot at a time can have the execution privilege, so to take the execution privilege from one robot to another, open the tab with the required robot and click Prepare Execution.

Search
The search functionality in Design Studio gives you the ability to perform text search in robots. In the Search field, type the text you want to search for and press Enter: the search results become highlighted in the robot graph and also get listed in the Search Result panel.
Text search is not case-sensitive.
Search Results
All of the results are listed in the Search Result panel with the current result selected.
The following rules apply:
-
Text search finds any text that can be seen in the robot graph.
-
All search results are highlighted in yellow except for the current result, which is highlighted in orange.
-
If the found text is not visible in the robot graph, the expand button of the component containing this result is highlighted.
-
If you change the current result, such as by pressing F3, the robot graph scrolls to the found text.
-
If you change the robot, the search is updated, removing the highlight from the current search result. If you press F3 after the update, the current result (possibly a new one) is highlighted again.
-
If you open the Expression Editor and it contains search results, the first of these results becomes the current result. As long as the Expression Editor is open, navigation through the search results is performed within this dialog box until you close it. If you change the text in the Expression Editor, all possible highlighting for the search results within this dialog box is removed until you close and reopen this dialog box.
-
When you navigate through the search results, such as by clicking the arrows
, and reach the end/start of the list,
navigation starts over from the start/end of the list.
Navigation Between Search Results
Use the following buttons and shortcuts to navigate between the search results:
-
Arrow buttons next to the search field.
-
If the cursor is placed within the search box, pressing Enter scrolls down the search result list.
-
Keyboard shortcuts: F3 for moving forward and Shift + F3 for moving backwards.
-
Use the Escape key or the Close
button to clear the search.
