Goodmorning Berg, Well, the CFC editor is basically a graphics editor which is then compiled to machine code. The CFC works with a database. If there was a save option, it would decrease the performance desperately. Every parameter change, FeatureBit, every interconnection must then be possible to undo..because that is what you want a save function for. Due the fact that Simatic Manager checks timestamps, it would not work to have a save option. When you change something, you need to compile and download the charts because the timestamp changed. Even if you insert a simple VAR table and save this, a compile is needed. Also when you change a symbol name, you will need a compile. Even in a situation where you want to save CFC charts before executing update block types for example....In the whole multiproject every block will be updated from the master library. If you exit CFC and open again, then CFC must reestablish the database before saving. Sounds like you are introducing a lot of problems then. Also, when I'm programming, I don't know which interconnections or variables I changed 10 minutes ago...How do you want to undo these changes? If there was a save option, it would be more harmful than helpful.... And if something is changed, you can use the addon: VXM to compare two projects with each other. You have a detailed view from hardware to OS objects of all differences between the two projects. Also, there is the option to create a XML file during downloading. You can use this XML file to check what is changed during the last download. So, a save option in my opinion is not necessary and could be even more harmful. I doubt this will be possible in the feature. also, there are a lot of functions which you can use to check your code.
