Move cursor to the first line / instruction you would like to copy 4.) Hit F1 FLD Sta . A green star should appear on the left side. 5.) Move your cursor to the last line / instruction. 6.) Hit "SHIFT" F1 FDL End. 7.) Hit F5 Mark Fld. 8.) Insert / Enter create a new emty segment in STL in the emty new segement go to Edit Mode and hit F4 Ins Fld. I hope this helps.

I have a hardcopyof the Manual of Step5 V6x and in section 3 you can find the procedure. The electronic copy of the Manual for Step5 V6.6 is under Entry ID:1169885 http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/1169885

The warning message was showing: "1083:Inserting not possible" as shown in the attached picture. Again, is it possible to copy segment 1 of a function block and put into or replacethe segment 1 of another function block? Attachment FB2.gif (226 Downloads)

If would like to copy FB Segments with Labels, you may want to get Step5 V7.xx With this verison it is possible.

STEP5 v6.5 is not permitted to do so and it has nothing to do with label.Same asSTEP5 V7.xx. Again, is it possible to copy segment 1 of a function block and put into or replace the segment 1 of another function block? Please be noted that, the above description is referring to segment1, not segment 2 or the rest segments.

It is notpossible to copy segment 1 of a function block and put into or replace the segment 1 of another function block. STEP5 does not permit this operation!
