Step7 symbol or address search?

[xJAyx]

I'm programming in Step 7, for the first time in a couple years. I'm pretty rusty, but it's nothing revolutionary.
I'm editing an existing program that a colleague wrote. I can't remember how to search for a symbol or address throughout my FB blocks.

Can anyone help me out with this?

Thanks in advance.

I found the option to do this. It is in the Simatic Manager, under Options->Reference Data->Display, then select cross-references. A list will pop up with all objects in it. This list can then be filtered to look for whatever you want.

xJAyx then how do I link the program with the Object List and Device Structure?

Hi,
If you are in the FB or FC, you can pull down the edit bar and do a find with the text you are looking for (I usually use partial strings to be generic). You can right click on the contact if you find it and follow the pull down GO TO > Location. This will get you a pretty fair cross reference. You can get the I/O addressing out of the hardware config. If you don't know where the bit is located I then use the described Options pull down. A little more filtering and your there.
