Visual Logic Command Builder

At first glance, the new Visual Logic Command Builder might not seem like an earthshattering enhancement, but anyone who has spent any time writing Visual Logic code will quickly find that it makes writing code much more efficient. SIMUL8 has kept the right click command menu, but now provides a New command browser that is docked to the left hand side of the Visual Logic window.

You can easily view all the commands available to you and drag them into your Visual Logic code. They are sorted into categories. You can also create a custom list of all your most commonly used commands.

The bottom of the window now includes a help panel that provides an explanation of each command.

This is a great feature for new users who are getting to know Visual Logic. It is also great for long term users of SIMUL8 because it just a little bit quicker and easier to write Visual Logic code.
