Selecting LD Elements

In Ladder Diagram (LD) program organization units (POUs), select individual or multiple LD elements to perform management tasks like cutting, copying, pasting, and deleting. Select multiple elements by holding down Ctrl while clicking the left mouse button or by dragging to enclose.
Only select elements having the same level on a rung; elements from different rungs are unavailable. Upon clicking a rung, parallel branch structures display with connections. This diagram shows the selection of two contacts and a parallel branch structure on a rung. These three elements are at the same level while the individual parallel branches are sub-elements of the branch structure.
